weight loss & fitness advice

hi! i’m trying to reprioritise my health and weight loss after a mental health break (and some weight gain), but i’d like to do it differently this time and am looking for advice.

i’m unable to own a scale, but based on experience and my measurements i’d approximate that ~160lbs, i’m also 5’3, 19, and very sedentary. most calorie tracking apps estimate my maintenance to be around 1750-1900 calories.

last year i was losing weight at a weekly average of 1200-1400 calories, but i wasn’t exercising at all.

this time i’d like to prioritise my fitness and strength, so i’ve started trying to do 30 minutes of cardio most days as well as bodyweight strength workouts on youtube to (hopefully) stop being completely weak.

i’ve stuck to 1200-1400 calories again this time but feel weak, lightheaded and foggy constantly. should i adjust my calorie intake to account for added exercise? will i continue losing weight? will a smaller deficit make exercise easier? is it impossible to know what to do without access to a scale?

thank you for any advice you’re able to provide :)
