What is my ideal calorie range to lose weight?

I am female, 5'3, 27 year old and weight 122lbs, and I want to lose 6lbs.

I use my fitness Pal to try and stick to a 1200 net calorie diet...I walk at least half an hour every day and I have recently started Bikram (hot) yoga, which is 90mins every morning...I know some sources say you burn 500/600 a session doing Bikram, but I just enter 250 for it in MFP... Today for example I burned 88Calories from walking and 277 from Bikram...and I consumed roughly 1750 calories...making my net calorie intake 1395...is that too much or too little if I want to lose weight? Do I only need to be concerned with calories or do I have to pay attention to the fat/carb content as well? I always end up having a high carb diet from eating too many fruits! I have no idea what's right and what's wrong anymore with so many different theories online!
