Help me decide what my deficit should be!

Hey all im new here.

I am a 19 year old male 183cm/6"0 and 120kg/265 pounds. For a long time i have been eating like shit and skipping the gym... Gained like 50kgs in 2 years but i have been going to the gym for 3 weeks everyday and with a strict diet...

What i am trying to find out is what my daily calorie intake should be because i have been seeing some comments about losing muscle mass instead of fat if i go too far with the calorie deficit.. so my daily intake normally would be 3200 calories and right now for the last 3 weeks i have been on a 1500 calories diet and lifting heavy weights... This calculator site is telling me to eat 2300 calories to lose 1kg a week and its a "extreme weight loss"

Its been going decent for now but im scared that i will lose muscle mass instead of losing fat and that i will look like a dude that doesnt gym but is skinny fat.

What would a good calorie intake be if i wanted to lose 1 kg a week and not lose muscle mass and i forgot to mention my weight goal would be 85kg/187pounds.
