Another question about calorie intake

So I'm not exactly strength training yet, I'm trying to work myself up to that so I created a 30 day plan of incremental increases in crunches, leg raises, planking, push-ups, and squats. Each day I'm still either doing 20 minutes on the treadmill or 30 minutes on the elliptical plus 20 minutes on the bike.

Today my workout looked like this:
15 Minute - Treadmill - 7 mph, .02 incline
5 Minute - Sprint - 7.5 mph, 0 incline
20 Second Plank
20 Crunches
8 Leg Raises
10 Push-Ups
30 Squats
11-11-11-10-10 Leg Press -50lbs
20 Minute - Bike - Level 7

At the end of my 30 days this is what my workout will look like:
30 Minute - Elliptical - Level 4
155 Second Plank
160 Crunches
64 Leg Raises
60 Push-ups
130 Squats
20 Minute - Bike - Level 7

After 30 days I think I'm going to dabble with weight lifting. I've set my calorie intake to 1650 a day, my TDEE is 2025 and my BMR is 1325. Do you think this is a good limit to be at to lose .5lb a week?

    As long as you have a calorie deficiency, the exercise and water will aid your weight loss.
