The above to posts are correct normally cutting or fat loss is about 500 cals below maintanence and bulking about 500 above, guessing does not work, if yo keep an accurate journal you will be shocked at how many calories you actually consume. Knowing your maintanance calorie intake is important and easy to figure out from there adjustments can be made. Plateus can be avoided easily at first, as you workout more it becomes more difficult, variety does work but you must stay on a routine long enough to get the benefits before you change it up. Usually something simple like a few extra minutes of cardio will work, sometimes a weeks rest will have amazing results. The thing is you must start with the basic, known to work methods, as you progress you will see what works best for you and adjust accordingly. Keep records so you can look back and see what works and what doesn't.
