1700 kcal a day for male is already pretty high calorie deficit even without any physical activity

On average, sure, but there are plenty of metabolic outliers, and I doubt those seeking weight loss are on the higher end. My weight was surprisingly consistent at 1300kcal/day.

As an outlier more towards the other end, my weight tends to fall if I go below about 2500 kcal/day

Is it that far off? I had a medical last week and was told my resting metabolic rate was around 1750 kcal.

Resting metabolic rate means "sitting on the couch literally all day long".

Even the slightest physical activity (working, moving around the house) will raise that by a few hundred calories.
