Confused about Calorie goals

Since I started working on losing weight in November last year I've gone from 109.5kg to 99.5kg (my goal weight is about 80kg so I'm getting there). However over the past 3 weeks I've only lost .3kg (I had been losing about 1kg/week except when I havent been actively working on weight loss) despite keeping up with my goals and exercising more and keeping a better balance of carbs/protein/fats.

One thing that bothers me in trying to work out why this might be (even though it could be a perfectly normal plateau or even more likely due to my thyroxine dosage being stuffed up in the past few weeks so it's probably stuffed up my metabolism) is how different some of the calorie estimates are. E.g. myfitnesspal says for me to lose 1kg/week my goal should be 1500 calories a day (which is what I've been doing), another calorie calculator says for the same weightloss I should be on 1385 calories a day and another says 1742 calories. Does anyone know which calorie calculator is most reliable?
