Is 1000 calories per day safe?

Options
Hi! I'm 59.40 kilos, my height is 5'4, and I usually do strength training 3x/week without cardio or anything else in between. I just calculated my TDEE using an online calculator and it said my TDEE was 1579. Is it correct that to lose weight, I have to deduct 500 from that making my daily caloric intake goal 1079? If it's correct, is consuming only that much safe? Thanks!

    Thank you so much! Beginner here so I don't really know a lot. I just started working out around March this year. I haven't read much on how to do a recomp.
