    3500 calories under what your body normally burns off will burn 1lb of fat. To lose 2lbs a week, you'd need to come in at under 7000 what your body normally burns off. So, figure out your TDEE, and come in at 1000 less a day, or 7000 average a week and over time, you should average 2lbs a week.
