You tell us. Does it feel sustainable?
3500 calories = 1 lb. For every 3500 you're deficient, you lose 1 pound.

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the amount of calories you burn sedentary.
I like the Harris-Benedict. Calories burned in a day for men = 66.5 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.76 x age in years)

Yes, calories burned are calories burned. Although you probably burn less than when you started, simply given your technique / efficiency / etc would be better now.
