Change your MFP profile to say you want to lose 2 pounds a week, and it will estimate that for you. If your profile is already set to lose 2 pounds a week, and you aren't, first make sure you're logging every day, consistently, and accurately, including any so-called cheat days (preferably with a food scale, remembering to log cooking oils, dressings, drinks, bites/licks/tastes; and estimating exercise conservatively).
If that's all lined up, and you can afford to eat so few calories and still get adequate nutrition, then you need to drop 500 calories more daily of eating in order to lose another pound a week. Don't go below 1500 calories if male, 1200 if female, because nutrition is important.
You're pretty much at a point where losing two pounds a week is only conservative for the next few pounds anyway, and that's if you still have more than around 50 pounds to goal. I get that losing weight slowly can be frustrating, but losing weight too fast can increase health risks.
Good luck!1
