why is my maintenance calorie count so low?

TDEE calculator says my maintenance is 1,600 calories. this is do able for me regularly, but when I want a 500 calorie deficit 1,100 calories is near impossible. I tried it, but eating 1100 calories a day made me really ill and weak.

current stats: female, 5’6, 135 lbs.

exercise: basically completely inactive other than walking to classes on campus. Figured upping my exercise would help but everything I see says that the thing to focus on is diet, not exercise

not sure if I have hormonal issues or anything. My period has been all out of order lately (cycle used to be 28 days consistently, then went between 20-22 days for a few months, and now its over a week late) but im not sure if that is related.

also: im very dehydrated. i drink around 0.5-1 cup of water a day, definitely something i need to work on but im nit sure if it affects weight loss
