New to diet planning

I’ve been working out for awhile but never really tracked my diet. I started using MyFitnessPal today to track my food intake.

I’m 42 years old, workout with weights 3-4 days a week (heavy compounds) and no cardio.

I put my age, height, weight, activity (I put moderate 3-5 days a week) and my estimated body fat of 23%. It said my TDEE is 3450 calories a day. That seems crazy high.

I put 2800 calories into my fitness pal this morning. I used the guidelines of .7g and .4g of protein and fat per pound of body weight as a minimum. (I chose .8 and .5)

So for a 2800 cal a day diet I got
226g carbs
123g fat
195g protein

Does this sound reasonable? Should I just try to hit these numbers for a couple weeks and see what the scale says?
