Postpartum/breastfeeding weight loss?

TL;DR: Breastfeeding + trying to lose weight. How many calories should I actually be eating?

Hi friends, I am currently 8 months postpartum and breastfeed every 2-4 hours during the day and once or twice through the night. I’m 160 pounds and 4'11", and I’m trying to figure out how many calories I should be eating for weight loss. My goal is to reach 120 lbs. I’m also not sure if I should still be eating more because I’m breastfeeding.

I’m really concerned about making sure I’m not undereating. Sometimes I get really hungry before bed, but I’m not sure if that means I’m not eating enough throughout the day or if my dinners just aren’t filling enough.

Another thing is that my activity level was pretty sedentary during pregnancy because I was in a lot of pain. I’m now trying to do quick YouTube workouts and walk around 3 miles every day. I haven’t been able to walk the last few days because I found out my shoes were apparently too small and my feet got all jacked up 😭 Does this sound like a good activity level for weight loss, or should I walk less and focus more on workouts/exercises instead? Thanks in advance
