I don't count calories, so don't really know from that score, though 2,000 is the standard daily burn for an adult who isn't active, so being under that while being active for a long time, especially while transitioning, doesn't seem wise. I'd up your calories by adding fat via 100% grass fed butter, cream, avocados, etc. and see what happens.
The whole "eat to hunger" thing doesn't really work when in transition as you body is giving so many signals, whose to know what is what. Three months + in, and eat to hunger becomes more viable.
