Is eating 1100 calories ok for a sedentary female?

At the start of the year I had a new years resolution to lose the weight I gained during quarantine. My BMR was low because I didn’t weight that much to begin with. I started eating 1200 calories and going on an hour walk every day. I started to lose the weight at a healthy rate (~1 pound a week). It wasn’t as much as my calculations but it wasn’t that far off. I assumed I was just eating more calories than I was recording. However, recently I told my friend about my weight loss and she told me that the reason I wasn’t losing as much weight as I initially thought I was going to was because my metabolism was getting slower because I was eating too little calories. On top of that, I have started walking less so I decided to start eating only 1,100 calories every day to make up for it. Personally, I’m having no problems with my diet now but I’m really scared that when I get to my goal weight my metabolism will become really bad. I have done lots of research on this online and everyone seems to be divided. I know the amount I am eating now (1,100 calories) isn’t the best but it’s only temporary and I’m feeling fine physically. Is the reason I’m not losing as much weight as I though I would be because of my metabolism slowing down? Is 1,100 calories enough for me if I’m feeling fine and seeing no side effects? I don’t want to raise the amount of calories I’m eating because at that rate it would take me ages to lose the weight.
