I calculated my BMR.
I'm 5" 5 3/4' @ 57 kg. I'm looking to build muscle as well as lose fat.
On various websites I found it looking at about 1500 calories. My macros'll be 40/40/20 Protein/Carbs/Fats.
Is this okay, or too little to gain muscle? I don't care if it takes long, but I want to gain muscle AND lose fat.
Any help would be appreciated!

BMR is not your MAINTENANCE
You have to find your maintenance caloric intake which is your BMR and your level of activity.
Therefore, try and multiply your BMR by 1.2 if you are a sedentary person.
My calculations say about 1800-1900 of calories for you!
Now, if you want to add lean mass, add 200-500 calories to your maintenance.
If you want to lose fat, remove calories.
Beginners tend to lose fat and build muscle because they are not accustomed to exercising and lifting weights.
