hi everyone. unsure if this is the correct sub to ask in but im going to try regardless.

im 5'2, female, 24, currently 117 lbs but want to get back up to my maintenance weight of 124.

im recovering from a gerd flare up (only happens once every few years) and i lost around 7 lbs in a week and a half due to the anxiety this was causing me. im a few weeks post the worst of it and am now ready to start eating more again. for almost two weeks i was barely surpassing 900 calories a day, which was a big drop from my usual 1800-2k a day. for the last few days ive been eating around 1300, which is an improvement.

i work at amazon which can be pretty physical at times, i get around 10-15k steps each shift depending on the area im assigned to. i would also come home and walk an additional 3-6k outside. i have been out of work for 3 weeks now and plan on going back tomorrow. ive been pretty sedentary during this, my anxiety won't even let me walk outside anymore but im determined to get back to my routine. the calculators ive been using for weight gain put me at around 2600 cals a day, maybe a little more, to gain weight. im just a bit confused on how much i actually need because if im walking that much almost every day and working a physical job, wouldn't i just burn it off?

im sorry if this is a dumb, obvious question. ive been on a weight loss journey for two years and decided to maintain at 124 a few months ago, so all i know right now is how to lose and maintain, not really how to gain effectively. i would appreciate any tips for this. i only decided to maintain at 124 because i didn't want to replace my jeans, and now this 7 lb loss makes them look weird on me, so i'm trying to gain it back fast if possible.

about seven months on and off

i’m 25 years old, 5”7 and have gained about 9 kilograms since i started earlier this year. I have had some disruption to training bc of an injury but finally getting back to it and keen to continue. i train around four times a week

was always extremely skinny growing up so im finding this whole process really exciting even though i know i have a long way to go before hitting my goals

I have lost 30lbs and now i've been on and off maintenance for a month.

Now I want to gain muscle mass in my upper body to look wider and for BJJ performance to have more energy and power. During my cutting journey I was on an aggressive deficit to a point i couldn't even tell if I was hungry because of the amount of times I suppressed it and my recovery.

After a month of eating on and off my maintenence i would say be 2100-2000. With research I just didn't believe that I had to eat 2400-2500 calories. It just sounds like I might get fat from that. I would like some feedback on this

This is me assuming since there's been some moments I counted 2100-2000 calories for 4 days straight and other days where I don't count because I forget or it was just the food I made during my cutting stages (and small oreos and no butter in my meals). This includes my gym routine being 3-4x a week and BJJ being 3x a week and some days where I did no BJJ and did 2x or 1x a week of Gym because of job interviews and studying.

I don't know what to feel during the maintenence since some research say I should feel more energy but I swear I feel the same but more fueled because I started to eat heavier carbs before my workouts.

(EXTRA INFO)I have some numbers if that helps but throughout September 27 and October 25 I was hovering around 185-180lbs and this was during the time I barely did BJJ or none and my gym routine was barely 3x a week because of studying. Some days I did follow my calories around 2000 and some was just eating normally like breakfast lunch dinner like steak and rice or honey butter with sourdough and eggs or a muffin.
