Caloric Goal

According MFP, my caloric goal is 2610 calories. This seems awfully high to me. I am a 5'8" 72 year old male. My current weight is 172 pounds. When in high school I wrestled at 168 pounds. I also played football and lacrosse. Never went below 165. I actually gained some weight when I went in the service.
I think my goal weight should be 165-170.
1st question: is this a realistic number?
2nd question, if not, how does one modify the goal?
Thanks
Wes

Check to make sure you entered the right info into MFP. Then plug your stats into a TDEE calculator to see what it comes up with (scoobysworkshop and IIFYM are good ones to use).0
