How many calories should I intake and burn to lose weight?

Im 24 years old, 6 feet tall, 240 pounds. College has turned me into a lathargic fatso. After research I am still unsure on the amount of calories to burn and the amount to intake in order for me to lose some weight. My target for right now is to get to 220.
I recently purchased a bicycle to ride to class and I am swimming three times a week. I swim for aproximately 30 minutes each day and that will eventually increase. I ride my bike around campus anwhere from 40 min to 1 hr 20 min, but it is not continuous, class etc.. Ive started charting my calorie intake and have it about 1500 - 1700. Is this accurate and enough exercise or is there something I should adjust? I also need some explanation on if you eat 1500 calories and burn 500 is that healthy and all that sort of stuff.

    every 3500 calories is one pound. so if u burn 3500 calories more than u take in, one pound is lost.

    At your size, you’re probably buring more than 1500 just existing, plus you’re burning some exercising. So, you should start losing weight. If you’re unsure, try to add in some weight training to expedite your weight loss. If you start weight lifting though, you should increase your calories (many of them from protein) so you’ll have excess calories to build muscle.
