i was thinking you weighed over 200... i see you said you weigh 160. thats debatable. it depends fully on your metabolism. you might require 3000 calories a day at rest... you might require 1500. depends on you.
a reasonable assumption would be that you need between 2000-2500 calories a day at rest, without knowing your height, body fat % etc.
HOWEVER - i used "starvation" because you are burning 800-1000 calories a day with cardio and claiming to eat 1200. that leaves you with a total of 200-400 calories a day for your body to function on. thats starvation by any definition. at best, i would guess that 1/2 the weight you are losing is muscle.
