I would guess you would need to eat around 1200 calories a day to achieve this. I wouldn't go much below that though. Good luck.

Lots of ways to get a deficit. Three common/effective ways are:

1) Lower your caloric intake
2) Exercise. This will both increase your resting metabolism throughout the day (the best way to lose fat) and you will burn calories while exercising (less important)
3) Supplements. There are plenty of supplements out there that cause your body to generate heat, increasing your resting metabolism and allowing you to steadily burn fat throughout the day. A common supplement combination is the ECA stack (ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin). Supplements, of course, should be used in combination with the other ways, not on their own.

I wrote an article on this recently. About dropping fat quick and healthy while maintaining muscle.
