Confused about how many calories I need.

Here are my stats: Female, 5'6", 143 lbs, edit: 29 years old.

I've looked at several different calculators and most of them give me less than 1200 calories a day, which I thought no one was supposed to go under unless you are a short female. What's the deal? This calculator gives me only 1,168 calories per day. In contrast, this calculator gives me 1336 calories per day.

I'm feeling confused about what my target goal should be. Eating under 1200 is hard but I've been trying. Lost about a lb and a half this past week after a brief plateau. It's working, but I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it. Any advice? I want to lose 8 more lbs, which I know is going to take careful work.
