You always have calorie burn. You burn calories just by being alive.
Don't make this more complicated than it is.
Reduce your calories from your maintenance by about 30%, exercise 3x a week or so, and see what happens. If you don't lose as much as you want, lower your calories a bit more/add a bit more exercise.
But don't overthink it. Otherwise you'll make yourself crazy.

I have been over thinking everything and it is driving me crazy. I started a food log a month ago at Fitday.com. I am 210 pounds, 41 year old male and I'm 65 inches tall.
I cut my calories down to about 1500 to 1700 and people all over seem to be giving there own "expert" advise about how many calories I should be taking in to lose weight. I am weight training 3 times a week. And I just bought a treadmill. I just started walking on it 30 mins. a day.
Seriously, how many calories should I be taking in to lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week? Thanks.

You should be able to lose 1-2 pounds a week with that calorie intake. This site might be useful.
You would probably want to select "A Little More Active" or "Moderately Active".
