This would remain the same on OPT week 1-3, however, on week 4 when cutting out the cardio & weight training, wouldn't the activity level change (I calculate 1.2) which puts my calories at 950 or so based on BMR x 1.2. I am 5'6" 128 pounds. I know the closer to goal the tougher it is but I am confused about exactly how to tweak the program for this.

I think it is accounted for by having to follow a higher deficit during the recovery week?
are you sure the activity factor was only 1.42 with six days of exercise? Did you arrive at the number through the quiz? I found the quiz helpful because it takes other things into account like how you spend your weekends, time at home, mode of commuting, etc.
