COMMENTS
It follows by conjugation that the partition statistics "alternating sum" and "number of odd parts" are equidistributed. Consequently, the self-conjugate partitions satisfy the required condition.
In the first Maple program (improvable) AS gives the positive alternating sum of a finite sequence s, OP gives the number of odd terms of a finite sequence of positive integers.
For the specified value of n, the second Maple program lists the partitions of n counted by a(n).
Number of integer partitions of n with the same number of odd parts as their conjugate. - Gus Wiseman, Jun 27 2021

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 1 because we have [2,1]. The partitions [3] and [1,1,1] do not qualify.
a(4) = 3 because we have [3,1], [2,2], and [2,1,1]. The partitions [4] and [1,1,1,1] do not qualify.
