calories maintenance for muscle building?

[tice1212]

Stats:
190lbs
5'9
@10%bf
Weight train 5 days (weight train 70-80mins + cardio 65+ (low intensity elliptical)
Active rest days 2 (elliptical low intensity 90+ mins)

Goal: is to build muscle and burn fat (like everyone in the world lol)

Questions:
1: My TDEE is 2950 a day to maintain my weight at 190lbs. I'm meaning that number almost every day. Now I know I should be at least maintenance calories or in a calories surplus to build muscle right? Or only a calorie surplus will build muscle?

2: since I'm meeting my calorie goal i should be able to gain muscle but know my question is since I'm doing 65+mins of low intensity cardio a day am I in a deficiency to where my body won't grow?

3: since all I can do is low intensity cardio I understand the body uses 70%fat and 30%carbs for fuel. Would it be best to split my calories up like this.. 40% carbs/40% protein/20%fats because then I can burn more stored fat? What would be the best calorie split?

Thank you for ur time

heard Jerry Ward has his wife experiment with maintnance cal diet that was intended to just keep her stable but she actually ended up recomping and losing more fat while staying the same weight he didn't say how much stronger she got but he said she looked better... I think if you ate maintanance and you stopped eating around 7-8pm you'd burn a good amount of fat while easily maintaining all of your tissue? Just my thoughts

Maintenance will lead to muscle gain and fat loss just both of them really slowly. Certain drugs and stacks are amazing to recomp on. Peptides and sarms have a great recomp effect.

So i should still continue to gain muscle along as my tdee calories are met. Even with the amount of low intensity cardio I do right?
