I need some guidance

I’m 22F, 5’3, and 180lbs

I have a lot of history with yoyo dieting, and in the last year I’ve gained quite a bit of weight from a medication that I’m no longer on. Now that I’m off the medication, I want to lose about 50 lbs. my goal is to lose at least 8lbs a month, but I don’t know how possible it is without a pretty extreme diet. If I have to cut down to around 1100 calories a day for a little while to get started, would that be too little? I know it needs to be sustainable, but I think I’m mature enough and my relationship with food is healed enough to be able to handle restricting for a bit.

My other concern is loose skin and a sagging chest after weight loss. I don’t know if I’m at risk for it with 8lbs a month. Should my skin be able to bounce back easily at my age? I’d love some guidance on this.
