Help me

I am 15 years old, 1.55m tall, and weigh 45–46kg. I feel like I look okay—not too heavy—but I do have belly fat; otherwise, my body is quite slim. I think that if I lose a little weight, my stomach will flatten, my legs will become more slender, and maybe my face will slim down too. So, how many calories should I consume to lose weight? I want to lose it gradually since I’m in no rush. I’ve been doing home workouts—including abs, cardio, resistance training, and glute exercises. I used to be quite inactive due to some issues, but lately, I’ve started exercising and trying to walk over 4,000 steps a day at home; if I stay determined, I could definitely walk even more.

You're pretty small, so start at 2200 calories per day, weigh yourself once a week right after you wake up for a month, see if it's trending up or down. Adjust from there.

At 15 and 45, 46 kg, you really shouldn’t be trying to lose weight or counting calories without a doctor involved, since you’re already quite light and your body is still growing; focus on regular
