I use this website all the time, but it sounds like you've got it under control, 1500 is a good number and since you are losing the weight it is obviously effective.

It also leaves room for you to move down, since you will get closer to your goal you will need to obviously intake even less (but moving down 100 calories is possible with your current intake).

Your RMR is 2000 calories for the day. Which means you should be losing a lb a week with your deficit you've created. Healthy and good for you!
