Advice Needed about caloric intake for recomping

Hi! So I've been measuring my body fat % and lean muscle mass recently to help with my fat loss/muscle gain journey. I've been working out 5 days a week at F45 (2 days strength focused HIIT, 2 days cardio focused HIIT, 1 day combo), and eating around 1700 cal/day for the last couple months. I have seen some weight loss (before I started measuring body fat % and lean muscle mass so I can't say where I was losing the weight) but in my most recent body scan I had lost 2 lbs over two weeks, one of which was muscle mass, and my body fat percentage went up. I did some research about recomping diets and was wondering if anyone here had any ideas? I know weight fluctuates etc but I'm starting to think I'm not eating enough to gain muscle? And/or not eating the right macro breakdown? For reference my current macros goals are 180 carbs, 115 protein, and 55 fat I think and my current BMR is around 1400 with maintenance cals around 2150. Any advice on fat loss/muscle gain is appreciated.
