Absolutely exhausted during calorie deficit 😔

For some context I have EDS, MCAS and POTS. I already struggle with fatigue because of my chronic illnesses. I lost around 25lbs then took a 6 month break and now im trying to lose another 20lbs. During the 6 month break I was walking almost 2 miles a day, going to the park, occasionally lifting some weights. This brought me so much joy, because about a year and half ago I was bed bound.

During my last deficit my activity level were very low and a week into this one, I dont want to leave the bed. Does anyone have any advice on this? I WANT to exercise and strengthen my body, so this is discouraging.

I have been eating 1500 calories a day, I eat well balanced meals, and aim for 90 grams of protein a day. Im 5'3" and weigh 220lbs.
