Seriously, have the dude change stuff. You're a strong girl. Hell, that's the kind of boost to yourself you need... knowing that you're strong. Confidence and happiness high. So long as your form is good and you like it... why not?
As for calories, 2000 is probably fine. What really needs to happen is you need to guess a good (not too small) amount and then pay attention to your changes and tweak from there. People don't know exactly what they need till they try, and your thyroid prolly will just cloudy issues.
I know someone similarly in your situation, and it is tough for her. it just takes paying attention, tweaking, and more paying attention. I think she found 1800 to be a good point, and has slowly seen success. So... it seems as good a place to start as any to me.
But then, remember... me = not expert.
