Feeling stuck/want to recomp

So right now I’ve been kind of new to the gym going for 8 months. Ive been going to the gym doing ululululr each week since I enjoy going to the gym and aim for at least 15k steps every day. I’m 6 foot 4 inches at 165lb (I’ve done a 4 week 1200 cal deficit to go from 190lb, and before that I would eat 1600 cals everyday from when I was 240lb which was at the start of the 8 months) and recently I’ve been eating at what I assume is my maintenance 2100-2300 cal 190p 260c and 50f as I’ve been hovering around 165lb for a week now with these calories. Throughout the entire cut I’ve been maintaining my weight on each machine and exercise and reps in the gym but felt really bad every day and never really progressively overloaded in the gym. I’m estimated from the navy body fat calculator to be 17% body fat and looking to get to 10-12% but be lean and toned (pretty much a fight club build but at my height) so I was thinking of trying to find my maintenance as I want to hover around 165-170lb and build lean muscle mass, aka recomp but I’m not sure how to find my maintenance/how much to eat. I really am satisfied with this weight but I have a lower belly that I want to get rid of and just be a lot lower body fat while staying at or around this weight. I basically would like to gain more lean muscle mass/recomp is what im trying to say. Any help would be appreciated.
