Sure, ATM I am doing 4 1 hour sessions of calisthenics a week, 4 1 hour runs a week and I'm eating mainly whole plant foods (no vegan junk food). I cycle for transport, walk alot and at 1 point during my weight Loss I cycled 100km a day 😊

Amazing! Your week is jam-packed! I've been wanting to try calisthenics and even try biking but I never knew how to start! Perhaps I can ask for some beginner tips there? :) You're leading a very active lifestyle, I'm quite envious! I wish I can do that much!
I have a few videos on calisthenics, but will be uploading more. Just trying pushups and if you can't do them you can start them on your knees. And try other compound exercises such as dips and pull ups. Resistance bands are great to get if your not starting out too strong. The calisthenics movement on YouTube is a good place to start. It can be daunting at first though but just have fun with it and ease into it.
Will be checking out your videos as well! I've tried half push ups and Australian pull ups, just to sort of transition myself into doing the full push up and pull up. It hasn't been easy, though, and it can be quite discouraging that it takes a while to get used to the movements.
How about your diet? Are you currently cutting or bulking?
Best thing you can do is elevate your hands, that makes it so much easier, you can use your stairs at home, then work your way down the steps. If you want to actually build muscle then 8-12 reps range, if you want endurance, more feminine looking muscles 12+ should be good. I never cut nor bulk, I eat sustainable all year around. I NEVER restrict, EVER!
Oooh, I never thought of doing push ups that way. I might actually try that, thank you! :) I'd want to build some muscle and endurance after, so I'm thinking of 12 reps. Is that fine?
Really? So no counting calories for you, then?
