How should I factor in 10k steps? Am I eating enough?

I am 5' 4" and currently 163 lbs. I want to lose 43 lbs. I've already lost about 30lbs through dieting and breastfeeding and light exercise.

I eat about 1700 calories a day. I saw a lot of weight loss at 1800 when I was breastfeeding more. Now I'm at the tail end of that as baby is mostly on solids.

I was plateauing for 3-4 months, so I introduced 10k steps a day into my routine, which burns roughly 400 calories. I also do strength training (but not hardcore about it) 3x a week.

Since starting new routine this month, I've lost roughly 2lbs. I'm happy about that but I just want to check — what should by TDEE be for this increased activity? Am I eating enough at 1700 cals?

Thanks so much. I'm new here so still learning!
