I am trying to loose weight, and my brother told me, I should just stick to a 1500 calorie a day diet, how many weight watchers points would that be?

Daily points are not based on calorie totals. It is calculated using your current height and weight along with other factor such as age, how active you are, etc. To obtain accurate information, you really need to attend a WW meeting.
Points are not solely based on calories alone. They involve the number of calories, grams of fat, and grams of fiber.
To find out how many points you would get per day add these up:
Your sex:
If you are female- score 2 points
If you are male- score 8
If you are nursing- score 12
Your age:
17 to 26- score 4
27 to 37- score 3
38 to 47- score 2
48 to 58- score 1
Over 58- score 0
Your current weight:
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds. If you are 175 lbs for example, you would enter “17″.
Your height:
under 5’1″- score 0
5’1″ to 5’10″- score 1
Over 5’10″- score 2
Your activity level on most days of the week, how do you spend your day?:
sitting down- score 0
occassionally sitting, but mostly standing- score 2
walking most of the time- score 4
doing physically hard work most of the time- score 6
Add up all your scored points- that is your daily points target.
To find out the number of points in a certain food, there are weight watchers calculators many places on the internet. Here is one:
