I see nobody else will touch this one. It depends on how tall you are and how active. The average 20 year old that is moderately active is somewhere in the 2000 calorie range.
If you want to maintain weight somewhere between 1600-2200 is a good range depending on how active you are and how fast you metabolism is. If you are trying to lose weight I wouldn't go below 1200 and would try to hover around 1600 and get more excersize. Again, depending on your metabolism. It might be more important where those calories come from, than how many there are. If you are getting your 4-6 fruits and veggies (go heavier on the veggies) 2-3 protein and 6-11 whole grains you are getting enough to eat. I have trouble eating all that in a day myself and I cannot imagine eating all that and still having room for junk. Anyway, if you weight is steady then however many you are eating is enough to maintain that weight at you present activity level.
Keep it within 200 calories of 2000 per day, and get some exercise. Basketball, tennis, or a walk if you're not much of an athlete; or try running, soccer, or biking if you want a really good workout.
Personally I would recommend between 1200-1500 calories per day depending on your activity level. If you don't intend to exercise, eat less calories. Eat more if you exercise often. Between 1400-1600 would probably be best, and exercise at least 3 days a week, if not more.
First, calculate your BMR (how many calories you burn at rest)
Women:
655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
Men:
66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step two: In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
Add this number to your BMR.
The result of this formula will be the number of calories you can eat every day and maintain your current weightt. In order to lose weight, you'll need to take in fewer calories than this result.
As you lose weight, you can re-calculate the formula to assess your new BMR.

It varies based on other factors, not only weight. Some of those factors are height, age, gender, activity level, body type, and so on.

im 5 3 weigh 180 how much calories should i eat to loose weight
2000
You should weigh between 160-180.
If you weigh 180 pounds you should burn up to less than 250 calories for walking slowly for an hour, and 400-500 if you try and run or exceed the time of your walking.
You would weigh 13 stone
Take the weight you want to be, and multiply by 10. That's how many calories. 120 lbs = 1,200 calories 180 lbs = 1,800 calories
180 calories
