I’m just confused on how losing weight actually works. So if I cut myself down to 1500 calories a day, I would have to burn like 2000 calories to lose weight? That just seems like a lot of exercising to me, especially because I’m juggling a job and highschool still. Could you guys explain it to me in a better sense?

You’ve got the basics. Burn more calories than you consume, you’ll lose weight.
How you do it is where it gets complicated and depends on your body (e.g. cardio vs. lifting weights, different calorie-restricted diets, etc.). Your goals are also important – are you losing weight for health reasons, or to play a certain sport, or for other lifestyle reasons?
