For an average cat, not a kitten, pregnant, lactating or overweight it is required about 20 to 30 calories per pound of body weight per day.
By reducing caloric intake, one would lose weight. By increasing caloric intake, you'd gain weight.

Caloric intake has a lot to do with the amount of physical activity a person participates in. If someone has a high caloric intake but they don't exercise or move a lot, they will gain weight.
Energy balance is based upon dietary/caloric intake and metabolism. Healthy weight can be based on values based on height and weight, such as the body mass index (BMI). Insufficient caloric intake can result in starvation mode, where despite less food consumed the body may gain weight, and slow metabolism. Energy balance requires the body meeting its needed caloric intake, while being exercised for cardiovascular health, and to maintain/grow lean muscle mass.

Caloric burn MUST exceed caloric intake.
A healthy caloric intake can range anywhere from 1000 to 2000 calories per day for the typical person. Since 1500 is in the middle it would be considered a healthy diet.
