Does my weight loss math check out?

I’m M, 30, 70 inches tall, 230 pounds .

Various TDEE calculators average to about 2200 calories, assuming a desk job.

Google says it takes 3500 calories burned (which I assume also means under TDEE) to lose one pound. And assume I burn 3500 calories a week through exercise, and average 1700 calories of food a day.

Then per day, (2200-1700)=500 calories burned daily from eating deficit, plus 500 calories per day from exercise. So 1000*7=7000 calories burned per week, 7000/3500 = 2 pounds lost per week.

Of course this is all an estimate. But does that seem like the right way to look at it ? On the TDEE calculator I could have put a higher level of activity which would give a higher TDEE but it is easier to look at this way.

Thanks!
