What do I need to do?

Question

To lose weight, I’m looking at 1461cals. 
To gain muscle, I’m looking at 2123cals.
This is me:

And this is what I want to look like (similar) - and please don’t tell me I can’t because of genetics.

Answer

I won’t tell you that you can’t, but keep in mind, those are not your body. You can have abs and be slim, but don’t idealize this specific body type.

Answer

I would not idealize a body type... I would recommend working out to suit your body needs and goals. Try Chloe Tings 2 week ab workout and see how you do with doing that for a month .....

Answer

Keep your calories at maintenance, increase cals from protein and lift.
This whole "weight lose and toning" concept is faulty. 
With what your current (pictured) body type is, lifting weights will better benefit you towards your ideal body types. FYI you can not target fat loss.

Answer

It really depends on what your personal goal is!! If you go low cal you will lose fat and muscles, but you wouldn’t look like the girls in the pictures. 
If you want to look like them gals’ go intermediate fasting and a keto diet. Work out every day, and don’t eat low quality food. You will need a 2000cal+ diet once you giant the muscles but not right from the beginning. Make a slow change of habits and you can be successful.

I also like to do 1 hour of cardio at the gym about 4 times a week. Let me know if it works for you if you decide to try it!

Answer

That second picture you def can't unless you are going to surgery to get that waist and that boobs.
You must stick into losing bodyfat first than hold your weight for couple months than start to gain muscle. It is a slow process, needs lots of discipline

Answer

As a group fitness instructor in training, everyone's body is different however that's not to say you can't get similar results that you are looking for. Everyone keeps saying low carbs diet but just about 85% of everyone that does low carb diets end up gaining that weight back. 
Fitness is only 20% of your journey and nutrition is 80%. You need to make sure you are eating veggies with just about every meal and cut back on any junk food you might eat.

Answer

The calories 1400ish is low but more important than calories are macros!!! So you should count macros. Protein Carbs Fat and Fiber. Cut completely sugar it will help you on speed. Low carbs will force your body to get to burn the fat you are holding in. If you go low carbs or keto keep in mind you may feel like crap for at least 2 weeks is your body adapting.

Answer

You can try waist trainers. High protein low carb diet. Lots of core workouts, cardio etc
