Ok so this is what I got:

You have a BMR of 1334.7.

    You need more than that. BMR is the calories you need to survive in a coma. The only people who should ever eat under their BMR are the morbidly obese until they get into a healthier weight range.

    You need to figure out your TDEE. That is where you form your deficit (20% is the preferred deficit).
