Well a pound of fat is about 3500 calories. So 207-180=27 27×3500=94,500. Let’s say you want to be 180lbs by June. June 1st is 108 days from now so 94,500/108=875 so you need to be in a 875 calorie defecit per day. Now your tdee calculation (not super accurate but good for a baseline) given your stats is 2197 calories per day to maintain your weight, so 2197-875=1322 calories. So you should eat about 1322 calories per day, monitoring and adjusting based on weight being lost. To be honest since you are a beginner this is going to be difficult to sustain. Id reccomend taking it a bit slower at a 500 calorie defecit per day and be happy with progress. Also grab a food scale to help with accuracy as alot of beginners tend to under or overestimate calories.
Also a tip that ive always used is to weigh yourself every morning and at the end of the week take the average of the 7 days. Then compare the weekly averages to track your progress. This is helpful as our bodyweight can fluctuate up and down by the day but progress will show a trend long term.
Edit: just to be clear a 500 calorie defecit would be 1697 calories per day. That’s what id reccomend.
You can always ask your Dr to prescribe you ozempic or one of those shots.
