I say, if you're happy with your progress, why change it?

You are the only one that really knows your body. If the 2000 cal work for you then stay on it (don't go any lower thou). If you feel tired then add some more essentiel fat or some good carbs.
You shouldn't be loosing more than 1-2 lbs weekly or you are risking to loose muscle mass.
