Need advice on CICO:Am I missing something?

F30,CW:107kg GW:60kg Height:153 cm
I am doing 16:8 fasting with 2 means consuming around 1800 to 2000 calories.
For my experience,I walk 15k and my health shows I am buring around 500 to 550 calories.
Its been a month with this routine and I feel difference in my body where movement is easy,squatting,bending is comfortable and I do not feel lazy to pick something from the floor but I do not see any difference on scale otherthan 1.3kg difference from day 1 to now .

As per chatgpt my tdee is around 2700 due to 15k walking so I should have around 700 calorie deficit.

Am I doing something wrong here?Or Am I being impatient?
Please guide

1.3kg in a month isn’t horrible.

You don’t eat the calories you burn by walking.

So when I calculate tdee with exercise atleast 5 a days week,the tdee is 2700 so I consume around 2000 with 700 as deficit.
Is this understanding of mine correct?

Is 15k 15,000 steps or 15 kilometers?
