Is 1200 too low for me?

F 47 5’6” SW 180 CW 142 GW 130.

I’m a full time homemaker and average maybe 5000 steps/day now that it’s gardening season (in winter I average less). I lift weights 2x/week. So I chose sedentary for the TDEE calculator and it says my maintenance calories are 1555.

I use Loseit, set to sedentary, and it gives me 1309 calories/day for 1/2 lb/week loss, which is a deficit of 246. I still have 12 lbs to lose and it’s slowing down now. Is it safe for me to drop my calories to 1200 for this final stretch? That would drop my calories by 100/day or 700/week which might help me speed this up and finish this thing.
