I can't decide whether to cut my calories or increase them.

I'm currently trying to cut fat. My stats: 31YO male, 100.7kg, 6'1".

I'm currently eating 2,300 calories a day. The issue I have is that the scale hasn't budged much for about 3 weeks, so although I'm partly attributing it to muscle gain, I'm not entirely convinced. Simply reducing calories to account for weight loss prior to that seems rash as 2,300 is quite low already. TDEE calculators vary wildly too. So while one leads me to believe 2,300 is potentially too much of a defecit, apps like MFP suggest I consume about 1,800 calories a day to lose 1.5lbs a week. That seems very low for my stats and considering I work out 3x a week and go for an hour walk every day.

Before I up/reduce my calories and then monitor any differences, I'd like to get people's opinions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance 🙂
