So I consume about 1500-1700 calories a day. I eat good. Lots of protein veggies minimal carbs and drink tons of water. I started working out again and don't know if I'm doing over doing it because I'm tired all the time. I work out about 6 days a week and do an hour of cardio and I walk a lot in general cause I live in the city. Haven't really lost much to. Should I up my calories or just work out less? I'm 5'8 180 pounds. Would like to be 150. I'm also mid 30s female.

I think you're doing just fine. Better than me on the food choice. You just need to relax and keep up the good work. If you lost 2-3 lb or more a week be happy.

You sound like a ball of energy.......
Maybe you need a few more carbs.
Do you feel hungry?
That is good to drink lots of water.
If you get sore, slow down a bit.
slow and steady wins the race.......

I am a ball of energy! But I've been crashing I'm to tired I will literally just fall asleep in a second. Some days I feel hungry and others I don't. Like today I can't do anything. I'm to tired to make my salad for tomorrow.

I'd try working out every other day and see how that felt.

One other thought, maybe your iron or potassium/magenesium is low. Do you eat foods that are rich in that group. I guess, bananas, potatoes/wheat bread,etc...

They do drop a lot! I eat bananas every day. Tons of water multivitamin. I can up those foods
