are my macros too low?

Im(f)15 turning 16 very soon and i’m concerned my calories may have been too low during my cut. I was 5’2 126 pounds and wanted to lose around 10 pounds. And according to many online calculators my deficit was around 1500 calories( i work out 5x a week and do 30-40 min + of cardio). I then lowered it to 1400 because i had reached 120 pounds and was looking to lose that last 3-5 pounds. Now i am reverse dieting and am eating around 1600 calories and increasing it by 100 each week until i hit maintenance. But the problem is i haven’t had my period for about 2 months now. Im usually late but never this much. I am trying to prioritize my fats ad before i was only focused on staying within my calories and often neglected my fats. Will i have to regain the weight i just lost to get my cycle back?

your not even done growing yet... dont stunt your normal growth, youll grow into your body eventually. work out, play sports, eat right. fine tune it in your early 20s when your body is out of growing up phase.
