It takes 3500 cals burned to lose a pound of fat, give or take a bit.
If you go for a 200 cal deficit, and burn 200 a day running or whatever, that's 3500/400 which is about 9 days to burn a pound of fat.
200 cals burned during exercise is not much, that's only about 12 mins fast jogging (about 7.5mph). Add another 12 mins at that speed and then you lose a pound in less than 6 days.
To become normal weight in less than 20 weeks is pretty good.
On the other hand, going too far under your intake is dangerous because you risk triggering starvation mode which will suppress your metabolism and make you lose muscle mass.
