Not sure about macros/gym routine

I workout at a fairly moderate intensity 3-4 times a week for the last 5 weeks

I don’t have a consistent diet but I probably eat around 1300 calories a day and I’m not losing weight. I’ve noticed increased muscle mass but I don’t seem to lose weight around my butt, thighs and lower waist. I calculated me TDEE and it just seems excessive for weight loss. What do y’all think? 190p / 84f / 95c for a 2396 total maintenance calories and a 1896 weight loss calories goal (500 calories deficit)

My questions are:

Are those maintenance calories really what I would be eating to maintain my current weight of 160? -

I eat less than that and about that much sporadically over the weekend.

Do I need to stay on top of my food religiously to lose weight? Maybe I’m not cognizant of how much I’m really eating.

I look athletic/ muscular but I feel that I’m very weak. I can’t do push ups / pull ups but I can squat all day. I don’t do any cardio really just HIIT circuits and strength exercises. I don’t sweat a lot but I lift heavy and push myself to life heavy.

A lot of questions here I know. Feeling like I can’t ever get down to my goal of 150 (I know it’s jsut ten pounds but it feels impossible)

Side note I carry my weight in my lower stomach and butt the most and I just want to slim down those areas.
