i would say 1200-1400, but more depending on your body type. it should take you at least 3 months to lose the wieght. try following this plan, while eating 1200-1400 cals a day:Breakfast-
1-2 oz protein
2-3 grains
1-2 others (sugar, fats..ect)
1 fruit
1 juice or milk
Lunch-
2-3 oz protein
2-3 grains
1-2 others
1 fruit or dessert
1-2 vegs
Dinner-
2-3 oz protein
2-3 grains
1-2 others
1 fruit or dessert

I would say 1500-1650 per day. You can lose 1-2 pounds per week healthily.
