Yer da claims JSA

Put on quite a bit of timber over the last couple of years, mainly down a to a change of job - was travelling quite a lot meaning eating well and exercising became a bit of a challenge
Things have settled down now and have settled into a nice habit of working out 4/5 times a week - mixture of kettlebells, cycling and running.
My body is undoubtedly changing and can see progress when it comes to muscle growth - stomach is a bit flatter, arms and shoulders definitely look more toned and lower legs are ripped.
However, I’m not losing much fat at all and weight has actually gone up (expected that tbh). But I’m definitely getting ‘slimmer’ as I can fit into my old clothes again.
However I’m still carrying a bit too much fat and it’s definitely down to diet.
The main problem I have is I can’t quite work out how many calories I need to eat to build muscle while losing weight. Another thing I struggle with is tracking how many calories I’ve burned through exercise and whether I can eat more as a result.
Is there a handy calculator that I can use as a rough guide for working out how many I should be eating?
Can use MFP for tracking and macros but just need ti work out the base point
