What should my calorie intake and my macros look like?

Tomorrow I'm starting my fitness journey again after one year of laziness. Right now, I'm preparing my workout- and diet schedule, but the problem is I don't know how I should eat to transform my body the way I want to.

I am what you would call "skinny fat". My BMI is at the bottom of the scale of what's considered healthy and with clothes on I look like a pretty skinny girl. Yet, my body is really soft. I have the flattest, saggiest butt you could imagine on a 20-year-old, and my legs are like sticks. The stomach is squishy.
I'm tired of looking like this, and I'm determined to change my body into what I want it to look like. My workout schedule will look something like this:

Glutes/ legs at the gym 3 days a week
Jogging/ running, both distance and intervals, 3-4 days a week (currently preparing for a half marathon)
Calisthenics when I have time, maybe 1-2 days a week (beginner level)

Should I be in a caloric deficit, maintenance or surplus to reach my goal? I want to build muscle but still get rid of the "squishiness". What should my macros look like?
If you have any improvements to my schedule, it would be much appreciated. I know I should probably spend more time at the gym to reach my goal, but I don't like going to the gym so I thought I could replace some of the resistance training with calisthenics?
