How do you CICO when sedentary and small?

My friend is 150 cm tall and 55 kg (4'11 and 120 lbs) and wants to lose 5 kgs or 10 pounds. She is also not active, spending most of the time studying, typing, reading and watching TV. And some walking, 6000 steps but I think that's parte of a sedentary lifestyle and not extra calories burned, right? So, I calculated she has a TDEE of 1400 calories and would need a 20% deficit to lose weight at a reasonable rate and not taking month to lose ounces. So that means 1100 calories that will soon become 1000 considering some adaptation and less weight. You always say exercising is not needed for weight loss, sometimes even a bad idea that sabotages weight loss by draining will power. But petite people without exercising would have to eat very little to lose weight, is that sustainable? And isn't going belle BMR not advisable or just a myth?
