How long will it take me to lose 50 lbs? How should I calculate the right amount of calories to eat per day?

I’m 21 F at 5’10 and 170 pounds. I want to get down to 125-130. I have had a past with restricting and binging but have finally recovered and now I don’t feel uncomfortable with my food choices. I now feel confident in beginning a weight loss journey and believe I can do it in a very healthy and sustainable way since I would never want to go back to my disordered habits. I’m proud because I now can track calories in a healthy mindset compared to something that was obsessive.

Anyways, I want to get to this weight but in a sustainable way that won’t make me feel hungry 24/7. I don’t want to lose it and then gain it all back in the matter of months. When I feel hunger for too often, it’s expected that I will binge. While I don’t want this process to take years long, I do want it to be something maintainable and reasonable.

The problem is that I don’t know how many calories I should be consuming to reach this goal. I also don’t know if I should be eating more carbs, protein, or fats. Lastly, I don’t know if I should focus more on cardio or weight training.

Sorry this post is all over the place, but it would be helpful to get some weight loss help for someone wanting to drop a lot in a sustainable way.
