Am I starving myself?

Hello! First time poster and I’m on mobile so sorry if the format is garbage. I’ve been wondering about my caloric intake and then realized I have a handy place to ask for advice. I guess my question (as the title implies) is, am I starving myself? I’m 5’2 and currently weigh 228lbs which i am down originally from 260. I’m just getting back on the horse after a huge stall in my weight loss. Right now I eat ~1200 calories daily. I try and eat lots of protein, limit carbs, and include fruits (at breakfast) and veggies (lunch and supper).
I’m currently going to the gym 4-6 times a week where I do strength training, HIIT, and cardio. I’m usually at the gym for 40-60 mins. I don’t think I seriously restrict myself and my calorie count is estimated though I usually try to err on the side of caution. But I don’t weigh my foods or anything so I’m sure that my final count may end up closer to 1300 at the end of the day. I don’t find myself being hungry or anything except at the very end of the day when I’m lying in bed (and dreaming of delicious foods lmao). In conclusion, is 1200 calories enough for me when exercising lots? My intention is not to starve myself but I’m pretty damn overweight and pretty damn tired of it. So I’m trying to lose weight in the most efficient way while still being healthy. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you:)
