This is the calculator I use. Seems pretty accurate, I subtracted 500 calories daily from what it said I need for maintance and have been steadily losing ~1 lb weekly.

I'd say moderate-- even if your activity level is slightly less than that, the fact that you likely have significant muscle mass from your weight training would mean that your calories burned is comparable.
