1480cals for 2lbs per week?

I'm 5'5, 25yr old at 291.2lbs and I put my stats in 2 different websites and both say I have to eat 1480 cals to lose 2lbs a week at a sedentary lifestyle. I plan on going to the gym sometime next week and know I can eat more, but is it really that low for sedentary? I checked it for a 18yr old female at the same weight and height and it was around 1500.

I checked these calculators because they give estimated dates on when you'll reach your goal and my first goal of the month is 283. It said I'd hit it by January 30th. Honestly I'd love that. I wanted to get piercings for my goals I hit but I decided I wanted to get 1 that I miss for my birthday and the next at 270 or 260 to celebrate.

The websites I used are gymgeek and everydayhealth. I checked calculator net and it said 1678 cals.
