Hey everybody, a few colleagues from BCG are launching an NFT collection that is looking to celebrate (and also joke about) the consulting lifestyle. The art is awesome and they have a lot of the large meme pages lined up to help with their marketing shortly, so wanted to share in case anyone would love to follow them.

I have no feedback other than to say - congratulations on reaching your target weight! This is truly an achievement.
Has definitely been a journey, albeit only phase 1 in grand scheme; intimidated by miscalculating this terminal phase
Pick a calories estimate from a calculator run it for 2 - 3 weeks and monitor your weight. Adjust as needed
Adjust as needed until weight is stable. Then add 200 extra calories to lean bulk muscle if your training is on point and using progressive overload

I track my calorie intake with MyFitnessPal and my calorie burn with Fitbit and Runkeeper. Gives me a pretty good estimate of my current calorie burn at a weight loss of 0.5-1.5 lbs per week (I have good days and bad days). So I can pretty easily estimate my maintenance by reducing the calorie deficit from say 600 calories to a deficit of 100 and then go through some trial and error.
It's important to note that my body has changed over the last few months of weight loss. I don't burn as many calories from the same workouts. I don't lose the same amount of weight from the same calorie deficit, unfortunately. I had to go down by. So for me, that means I can't go back to what I was eating in Jan when I was maintaining weight. I probably have to pull back slightly from that (but not much).
And don't underestimate how the lack of movement from WFH has impacted calorie burn.
Do you want I keep gaining muscle mass or maintain muscle mass
Fair point. Overall weight gain from pure (as possible) muscle gains is okay.
Want to get accurate estimate before I stick to it and realize that actuals are tracking way off. Assuming sedentary to eliminate variables, as I can always manipulate the degree of exercise calories later
Check out https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html. Play around with the three BMR estimation formulas and activity level. I would go conservative and make activity level sedentary. Should help you get a ballpark average.
I'm just trying to maintain my target HR ...
