1500 kcal deficit for 215lb female? Sustainable?

Hello! New member here and I am feeling conflicted over my kcal deficit for weight loss. Everything I seem to read says to keep it at a 500-1000 daily calorie deficit and I am averaging closer to a 1500 calorie deficit. Is this something I really need to worry about at 215lbs? Should I force myself to eat more?

I am 38y, 215lb at 5’3” My calculated TDEE is 1765 at sedentary (factoring in body fat) My average daily intake per MFP is 1350kcal My Apple Watch 4 tells me my total daily calories burned is about 2600-2800. So that gives me about a 1500 calorie deficit assuming all calculations are correct.

I eat mostly unprocessed food. Keep carbs under 150grams and drink at least 80oz of water a day. I don’t feel hungry or low energy. Just for added info. I am only a few weeks into this.
