Postpartum weight loss: when and how to begin

I am 6w postpartum, 5’6, and 175 lbs. I was 160 lbs before getting pregnant, and gained 30 lbs in a year after college.

I would like to get to 140 lbs, so I’d lose 40 lbs. I use MFP, lightly active, lose 1 lb per week.

I walk an hour a day and do 1-2x a week of gentle barre and Pilates.

My BMR is 1450, my TDEE is 2100 for maintenance? (Seems high).

MFP says I should eat 1650-1850 per day (lightly active vs active).

Is this reasonable? Will it effect my pumping? Currently 80% formula feed 20% pump breast milk.
