Would someone be so kind to calculate how much calories I should be eating to lose 2lbs/week. Different website is giving me different numbers. I don't want to under eat nor over eat. I'm 28yo female, 5'2 and 121lbs. Thanks in advance!

2 lbs a week is very aggressive for your height and weight. You'll probably have better luck shooting for 1lb or even a half pound a week. What is your goal? You don't have much to lose.5

Your tiny already. I highly doubt you need to lose weight let alone 2lb a week4

You should be aiming for a quarter of that rate at your size5

Oh I see. I can do 1lbs/week. Honestly I just want to tone up and look fit. I'm what you called a "skinny fat"0 -

What's your goal weight? Even 1 pound a week would be considered aggressive.0 -

1 pound a week is definitely too aggressive. Half a pound would be best if you don't want to jeopardize losing precious muscle mass.1

Different web sites work in different ways and so would give different numbers meaning you can't directly compare the numbers - pick a method and use the appropriate website.
This one gives you no credit for your exercise until you actually do it and log it in your exercise diary. Your daily goal is plus exercise calories. Most other sites estimate your exercise in advance and give you an average amount daily.
Try to be patient and not just in your weight loss, fitness improvements and especially muscle building takes time and dedication. Rapid weight loss isn't the way to fix being "skinny fat".1 -

If you just want to "tone up", than by all means, do so.
Choose a recomposition-program that best suits your needs.
But further weight-loss is not required and would (most likely) not solve your body-fat "problem"
