If your goal is fat loss, I wouldn't bother too much with trying to calculate all of those.
The process is simple: Go to an online TDEE calculator. Put in the numbers, get an expected TDEE (total daily energy expenditure, measured in calories). Then eat those amount of calories, minus 300. If after two weeks you haven't lost weight, do 200 calories less. Repeat until you are consistently losing weight. You might have to periodically lower your calories again, even if everything was working before.
