Those are general calculations, and are in no way accurate. Your body's metabolism determines how many calories are burned off. Obviously yours burns less, or you would be losing weight. You either need to decrease your caloric intake, or increase your activity. 490 calories burned at the gym is way too low.

Everyone has a basal metabolic rate of approximately 100-120 W or 80-100 kcal per hour, even if you don't move. Varies a bit with size.

No woman needs to be eating 2,299 calories a day (i don't care how "tall" you are). You should only be eating 1,500-1,800 calories a day.
If you eat 1,500-1,800 calories a day, and burn 490 at the gym, then that should help you lose weight and stay in shape.
You are eating as much calories as a large man would need to eat. STOP IT!
Take Care and good luck losing weight
