How do i know my maintenance calories from just weight lifting?

Does lifting weights increase your tdee much? Im sedentary i guess so if i pick that it gives me my tdee being 2000 calories. Isn't this giga low? So i would be lean bulking on 2300 calories only per month with no cardio and just weight lifting

You eat at a certain calorie range and weigh yourself

But that takes time and error tbh

Use a calculator that makes a calculation based off your height/weight/age and go from there

Simpler than you think, when did you last weigh yourself? How much were you eating at that time?
Did you gain on 2300? if not, add 200-300 cals

Experience. Calculators using the Harris Benedict equation are a good place to start but keep in mind that it doesn't consider body composition, so it's less accurate for people with high body fat percentage
