You can try it yourself and see for yourself
Log into fitnesspal and sign up with your height, weight and how much you want to lose and your target weight.
I am allowed 1540 calories a day, this is to lose 1lb a week. But half the time I´m not reaching 1540 calories a day, normally it´s alot under. And I´m not starving myself. I´m eating 3 meals a day plus a snack in the evening (if I feel I want). I´m just controlling more what I eat ... for instance weight watchers meals are filling but good on calories 
Just try it if you feel you want to lose a few kilos. Fitnesspal, is the best app I´ve found there is 
I get the calorie thing but it won´t last in the end. Believe me I know the struggle If you lose weight by only reducing calories, then after a while you will gain more than ever. The right way to loose it is
1. stop taking refined sugar & lessen alcohol (= sugar too)
2. exercise, exercise, exercise, 3x a week for an hour is good
3. dramatically lessen carbonhydrates, replace by veggies and a bit of fruit
4. more protein and good fats
5. water, water, water
6. have a plan, be patient.
(Do ALL of the above)
If you want quick results: do a protein diet, drink lots of water and exercise carefully 6x a week. (the shakes you are taking are also protein based I assume)
But quick results won´t last. You need to change your metabolism the right way and change your life style to make it last. I did Kayla Itsines Bikini body for a while, it´s really good. Now I just run 3x a week for an hour or so. I can eat everything.
But good luck anyways, you still have some weeks to get into that bikini
