Would you up your calories?

I'm 220 lbs (lost 115 in 2010, gained 60 while pregnant, working on losing baby weight plus what I had left to lose). I'm 5'6''.
I strive for 1500 calories a day, I don't get to exercise as much as I'd want due to my job, housework and taking care of my baby. I'm losing, but I find myself losing more when I go over on my calories a bit. My TDEE is 2473, and the calculator I used set my weight loss calories to 1979!
I definitely don't feel as that would work best for me, but I am interested in upping my calories a bit. Maybe 1650-1700. If you were me, what would you do?
(And don't go by my profile picture, that was my lowest weight of 175!)
