You continue to burn more calories than resting AFTER you stopped working out so that's something to consider for your calculations.
Also, putting on muscles means your resting calorie count go up too.

The trick is also to get your body to burn fats rather than muscles, which can be tough.
Hence when someone says he wants to lose weight, I will tell him that he should concentrate on losing body fats than weight.
A good eg is me (mid 30s) vs my dad (high 60s).
He is lighter than me and appears skinny but he has a higher body fat % (22%) than me (18%).

Just being abit of Grammer nazi and pointing out that it should be "那", not "哪". The latter means which is the Sun's Origin while the former means what you meant.

So the DUMB thing about the Instagram feed is that they will show you things that those you're following will look at, especially if it has no idea your preferences.
I initially got Instagram to follow a few brands that I follow, just to get updates on them, and also a few of my friends. I seldom post stuff, and I almost never like stuff because that wasn't what I got Instagram for.
For the longest time, scantily clad women kept turning up in my feed even though I don't look at such stuff, and even after repeatedly clicking the "do not show me similar stuff" button. My gf was also semi-pissed when she saw my feed.
Eventually she started working at Meta and found out how their algorithms work and told me about them (see first sentence).
Recently, I started to like some watch photos (got into modding Seiko watches) and now my feed is nothing but watches.
