You are obviously overweight, eating less is not going to stunt your growth, but eating too little will.
Just maintain good habits and eat in a reasonable deficit. Don't starve yourself and you will be fine.

I have no idea about what your eating habits are, nor your maintenance. I have no context outside of this thread, so my answer will be somewhat arbitrary (intuition and not logic). 1700 is probably fine. If you are really concerned, just eat slightly below your maintenance, say 500kcals, then taper down progressively as your maintenance lowers when the weight comes off. Pair it with exercise and you will be okay.
Being overweight is not ideal but not necessarily as detrimental to your development as a kid than you might think. You will be ok.

Just eat a bit less than maintenance, any figure as to how much you should eat is arbitrary because we don't know how much you actually need to eat to maintain a weight of 260lbs. If your maintenance is 4k, then you are still effectively starving yourself. It's contextual.
Just eat a bit less like I'm saying, and the weight will drop off. You will be okay.
