You're 5'3 and 190 pounds. I'm not sure what your goal weight is but i'd assume it's somewhere around 120-130 or so.
If your goal is 130, you have 60 pounds to lose. You are in the range to lose 2 lbs per week.
So, right now your maintenance calories are:
1,742 BMR
2090 TDEE (if sedentary)
To lose 2 pounds per week you'd need 1090 calories a day. I'd suggest you go for the 1,200 calorie route which is just under 2 pounds per week.
As far as the macros, it's up to you on what you prefer and keeps you satisfied. I like the 40c/30f/30p ratio. So that'd be:
480 cals from carbs
360 cals from protein
360cals from protein
120 G Carbs
90 G Protein
40 G Fat
So i think you're spot on!0
