I have been eating at 2100 calories a day for the last while, and have lost 7 pounds over the course of 2 months. My weight loss has stalled though and I haven't lost any weight over the last two weeks.
I've decided to add in tabata HIIT 3 days a week and drop calories to 2000. I am going to do do Tabata burpees until the weather improves and then do tabata sprints or tabata skipping.
Would one session (4 minutes) of tabata (any of the methods I am doing) be sufficient to burn 200+ calories for a 5'9 183lb male?

If you can do proper Tabata intervals 3 times a week, for 2-3 weeks without burning out I would definitely not want to be the guy that bumps into you at the bar
Since you have lost 7lbs already, measure your BMR again. Then, if you lift weights/exercise regularly, multiply that number by 1.6. You'll get a rough estimate of how many calories you need to just maintain your weight with that level of activity. Once you have that number, subtract 10-20% and you'll have the number of calories you'll need to consume daily in order to create a coloric deficit.
As for Tabatas, I would do them once a week. Do some steady cardio for 30-40 minutes instead every morning, as well. You can do steady cardio pretty much every day and you won't burn out. Tabatas are just too brutal to be done 3 times a week since they are an advanced training technique.
Also if you're not lifting right now, it's good time to start.

I dont think I will have a problem doing Tabata 3 times a week. I have played elite level sports my entire life so I am used to a very high level of fitness. I dont have time to do any sort of steady state cardio right now.
Also, If I use your method for calories it says I should be eating 2300 to lose a pound a week, but I am stalling at 2100
