It might not be as off as you think. I just did a maintenance week (weight 292 when I started) where I averaged just over 3000 calories without my usual regular exercise. I did not gain weight on that. My average intake was ~2300 for June with 5 days a week of planned exercise. On that I still lost ~2lbs/week.

Both suggestions given were good ones. Probably the only thing I would add is to make sure that what you're eating is accurate (best is to prepare your own food so you know what is in it). I know when I was much heavier my maintenance was easily over 4000 cals.
