I would target a 1500-1600 calorie diet with lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, veggies, non fat dairy and small servings of healthy fats (like nuts) and add a walking program or exercise program of 30-60 minutes 4-5 days/week.  that should get off 2 pounds a week - which is the "healthiest and most sustainable " weight loss.
