Would an extreme caloric deficit aide in burning fat?

Would a temporarily extreme caloric deficit - say, 500-800 calories a day, help fat loss?

I’ve hit a wall in my weight loss where it seems that my weight hasn’t really changed in a few weeks. I wanted to switch things up. I would only be doing this for maybe 2-3 weeks, a month tops. I definitely wouldn’t be trying this long term.

However, would this completely mess up my metabolism? Thus making it harder to burn fat afterwards? Or would it burn muscle instead of fat? I’ve read contradicting things online, so I’m not really sure. I realize a diet like this isn’t sustainable, I just want to try to shake things up because I haven’t noticed any progress recently.
