It's roughly 12 times your goal weight which would put you at 1,680 calories. This also assumes your goal weight is a reasonable one. The guideline is for minimum amount of calories, not a maximum. Where each person will have to be over and above that (or right at that) is very individual and usually requires quite a bit of tweaking and experimenting to discover. The goal here is make sure that you get enough calories, not that you have to cut them lower if you're above that, especially if you're still losing.
