Is 1500 calories enough

So I want to lose weight and gain or at least maintain my muscle mass. I lift everyday and get around 1500 calories a day and 225 g of protein a day. On days I do cardio I up my calorie intake to 1800 to 2000 since I burn usually 300-500 cals with my biking.
So my question is can I still maintain or grow muscle with this amount of protein and still lose fat.
I am currently 216 ibs and I’m 5’10.

I am also drinking a protein shake everyday that is 50 g of casein protein and 50 of whey isolate.
