Daily calories

A little bit confused how the daily calories are worked out.
The first week lost 7 pounds and went down from 2090 to 2040 the second and third week even though I lost 6 pound and nearly 4 pound have stayed at 2040. I have settings at 2 pound a week weight loss but have obviously been saving a lot of calories and getting more steps in for fitness etc which explains my bigger than 2 pound a week weight loss.
