This question could have several different answers because there are so many individual factors that can all affect what your caloric intake should be (activity level, overweight/normal weight/underweight, illness, etc).
You should try to see your physician or a registered dietitian for a proper assessment and advice on what works best for your lifestyle. Dietitians are trained to work with you to help develop goals and plans along with educational materials to figure out what will be most successful for you.
For now, you may have head of the Body Mass Index (BMI), this is a quick and rough calculation to give you an idea of how your weight is for your height.
A healthy BMI is within the ranges of 18.5 and 24.9 - given your information (and i didn't know your current weight, so I calculated the calorie range with the healthy BMI range...if that all makes sense!) your basic requirements just for your body to function are 1550 - 1820 kcals. That range is based on your weight being ~137 to 180 lbs.
Professionals take those basic requirements and multiply them by an 'activity factor' because if you are more physically active, your body needs more energy. if you are less active, your body doesn't need as much energy as say a swimmer or a runner.
I don't know where you're from, but check out the US food pyramid or Canada's food guide to help personalize your diet. No matter what...
1. eat lots of fruits and vegetables (more veg and lots of colours)
2. eat less bad fats (deep fried stuff, fried stuff, etc.)!!
3. Drink lots of water
4. And watch serving sizes on packages - often they are a lot less than what you will actually eat.

Good luck! Hopefully that's a good enough start...and sorry for the information overload.
