Has anyone actually lost the weight by just eating the calories required to maintain their goal weight?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone reached success by just eating as many calories as what would be required to "maintain" at their goal weight. For instance, I am 257 pounds and the calories required to maintain my weight are around 3000. My goal weight is 174 pounds, and the calories required to maintain that weight are around 2500. So what would happen if I started eating 2500 calories today? Would I eventually end up at 174 pounds? Did this work for you? How much time did it take?

I know this may be a silly question, but I feel the need to ask because weight loss diets (even the ones that are for people that are as heavy as me) usually have you eating 1200-1800 calories a day. Is heavy calorie restriction the only way to kick-start weight loss?

Would love to hear your experiences with this, thank you already!
