Having a "negative" calorie balance, or a calorie deficit, helps DIRECTLY with weight loss. In general, to lose 1 lb of body fat you need to create a calorie deficit of 3500 Calories. For example, if you intake 2000 calories a day and expend 2500, that's a deficit of 500 calories a day.

At that rate you will lose 1 pound of fat a week (7 days x 500calories/day = 3500 Calories) You need to consider your natural body metabolism and how much you exercise, and compare that to how much you eat.
