Is your TDEE higher with more muscle and less fat?

Hi everyone! So, as you can see, I am pretty close to my goal weight which is super exciting. I work an active job, go to the gym about 4-6 days a week, and have a high energy dog so you know I’m walking a ton outside of the gym and work. I eat between 1300-1500 a day and am pretty comfortable with that, I focus on high protein which definitely keeps me full for a surprisingly long time (I aim for about 100g a day give or take) At the gym I typically do a little cardio most days to get warmed up (10-15 minutes walking/running on treadmill) and then I focus on weights. One day I go is all cardio. So I’ve definitely gotten stronger and it feels good. When I get to my goal weight I plan on still weight lifting because I want to get nice and toned. So my question, when I do finally start eating at maintenance, is my TDEE going to be automatically higher just because I have more muscle than fat now? Or should I stick with the average maintenance calories that my app is going to average for my height, weight, and activity level? Thanks!
