Raising calories

So I've been doing 1200 calories and eating back half when I go the gym. First month and half averaged 2lbs a week. The last month only averaged a pound a week. So I'm thinking I should raise my goal to 1-1.5 lbs a week and up my daily exercise (3 miles walking a day) plus gym 3 times a week with cardio and strength training). So my question is do I think this will make it so I'm losing at an even slower rate that I have been this last month? I'm nervous to do it because the extra calories on top of slow loss.
Ps yes I weigh every morsel that goes in my mouth in grams lol so I know I'm accurately logging/weighing everything.
I'm 5'7
SW 285 (different program)
SW on MFP 225
Current weight 215
Goal 160
Set at sedentary

A pound a week is slow loss?
Even once you lose the weight, you'll still have to work during maintenance to not gain it back. This is something you're going to do for the rest of your life. Make the changes now you're comfortable with doing more or less forever.
I say don't change a thing, since what you're doing is working.0 -
1lb a week is a great rate of loss, well done
That is a whopping 52lb a year!
I wouldn't change anything, it is working great for you.0
