Should I diet at all?

According to the BMR calculator + my activity level (above average 2 weeks counting) my calorie intake to maintain my weight is 3660. I don't eat anywhere near this amount of calories so by dieting I wouldn't be able to reach anywhere near that. Is there a more accurate way of checking my calorie needs?
 
Just curious, how much do you weigh and how active are you a week?

Up to date pictures of me. I'm 5'9" 209lbs. According to that fat scanner thing I'm 27% body fat. I'm trying to lose fat but retain muscle. Now I exercised at Bally's every morning for 2 weeks being soaked in sweat and fighting for breathe doing cardio and weight training alternatively. Now today, I'm rethinking my strategy of how to approach my weight loss. I was eating only 1900 calories for 2 weeks until I realized how much of a deficit I'm in. I burn about 400 calories at the gym so I'm unsure if I should diet or eat the amount it takes to maintain my body weight and just work it off.
