First order of business:

Your well pump: Is it a 240v well pump, and does your inverter have a split-phase output that will accommodate the pump and the balance of your “stuff”

Under normal use, the well pump will be used very infrequently.

Go LED for the lights - that, and the box fan will be your biggest draws per 24 hour cycle.

A small fridge can be very efficient. My big fridge draws an average of 65 watts over a 24hour cycle.

Also, manage your drawdown of the AGM. Keep it above 50% charge as a matter of routine. It will last longer. If you need the full capacity, get another one and tie them together in parallel.
