    It's not a good idea to keep caloric intake to BMR, especially if your activity factor is reasonably high, as an acute deficit is associated with lots of bad things.

    why complicate things.. if you're tracking and not losing.. take 100-200 cals out of your daily diet and see what happens

    another tip -- cut carbs by half a cup to a cup daily

    another tip -- double your cardio some days

    another tip -- post what you're actually consuming next time so we could actually help you. if you're TDE is 2200 and your BMR is 2075 then you should be eating BELOW your BMR. BMR you calculated online means nothing.. it's probably not even accurate in your case as normal diet is 200cals and you're not THAT tall.

    There's so much wrong with your post that the OP should just ignore it entirely.

    For example, in what plausible scenario could TDEE be ~5% above BMR?
