Is it time to up my calories?

Im F32, 5’2”, from 195lbs –> 116lbs currently

Been on a calorie limit of 1200 for 8months and i was flying through it (some days less by 100-200cal). Gym 2days a week and an average of 6-10k steps daily.

Until 4days ago, since my last gym day, i am feeling so fatigued, i wanto lay in bed all day.

First i thought perhaps its because of the workouts so it will probably go away by next day or after, but its getting worse. Today was the extreme of it where i had 4 moments where i felt im about to faint, that my view kept getting dark and back (not sure how to explain it).

I also kept getting dizzy while emptying out the drying machine. I never experienced this EVER not even at the beginning when i started my deficit.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Is it the restriction? Was it due to my workout? Should i up my intake?

I ate a handful of nuts today and watermelon (about extra 400 cal) but im still feeling so weak and fainty. I had a full bloodwork done 2 weeks ago and everything was fine so im not sure whats going on this past 4days.
