You should be hitting 2000 net after exercise calories, because a deficit has already been applied. However, due to overestimation of calories burned, it's suggested to only eat 50-75% of those calories back.

you should only eat half of the burned calories back and net 2000 …so in your example of 300 burned..you would eat half that 150 for 2150 for the day for a net of 2000...

As long as you are under, you will always lose weight (give or take normal daily fluctuation).

The more you are under, the bigger the deficit, the more weight you will lose ... and faster.
