Confused about protein intake. Should I base it on macros or bodyweight?

just had a quick question regarding nutrition.

So I'm on a 1200 calorie diet for weight loss right now and I used a macro calculator which recommended a 40/40/20 split for proteins, carbs and fats respectively.

That equals to 480 calories, or 120g of protein.

But I read somewhere that when losing weight, you should eat 1g/lb of bodyweight. I'm 195lb right now so that so that would put my protein intake at 195g.

I'm really confused. Should I have 120g or 195g of protein?
