Hi Grampa ,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating forum.

I think the BMI Calculator (NHS Choices) is really useful - you can put your personal stats into the calculator and it will give you a recommended 'calorie range' - hence you can then eat sufficient, whilst safely losing weight. The link to that calculator is here, if you want to have a look:
