    What are your height and activity level? (Activity = how active doing normal daily stuff plus how much exercise. )

    You said you work 12 hour shifts. Do you have an active job?

    Per the TDEE calculator at IIFYM, your total calories to maintain are about 2240 each day. A pound is 3500 calories so to lose a pound a week you'd cut by 500/day, down to 1740. You are not too overweight though so I'd probably cut by only 250/day at this point, to 1990 (or 2000 for simplicity's sake.) Keep in mind that's your total calories so don't add more in for your normal 3 workouts.
