Need to balance: Your caloric intake with how much your burn, so that you have an excess of caloric intake daily. Based on your numbers your basal metabolic rate(how many calories you need to consume if you just sleep all day) is about 1800 kcal/day. Depending on how active you are during the day you would have to make sure you are eating 1800 kcal/day and account for the calories your burn during the day.
