You should be taking in well over 1000 calories. From what you said, 1500 to 1700 would be good.
Weight loss is not a race. It is a destination. And remember that your weekly intake matters more than daily. Track calories on a weekly basis knowing that a 3000 calorie day is not the end of the world.
A 500 calorie daily deficit will drop a pound a week. You can get to 200 by new years just doing that.
Heck, my goal over 2 years is to drop from 230+ to 195. And I am almost there. Setting up yourself for a slower gradual change helps develop healthy eating habits.
Not sure if my logical approachaddress your root issue but I thought it may be worth mentioning.
