Calorie Counting?

I have been counting my calories everyday and working out. My calorie requirement is set at 1640 a day to lose 1.5lbs a week. Lately I have been noticing I am not losing any weight (but I'm not gaining either).
My question is I have 1640 calories a day. When I work out and burn 700 calories am I supposed to consume those 700 calories along with the 1640 or just eat the 1640?
The 700 is just an example. I would say I burn about 400 to 1000 a day depending on what I am doing. I do a light walk/jog Saturday morning and use Saturday night and all day Sunday as rest days.
