It's possible to live off the money from SF alone (it's what I did). Do you get the max amount? Just make sure you're sensible with your accommodation choice.
Your maintenance loan can be up to £5,555 outside London and £7,751 for students in London. If you are living outside of London that means you need an extra £6,605 each year, which suggests that you can't survive on just your loan?
Obviously though these are just an average and you definitely could reduce these by going out less, having the cheapest accommodation, and budgeting yourself really carefully each month etc. However most students (about 77%) have a job so maybe you could consider that?

I pretty much spent the least amount of money on accommodation. I think it's around £1190 per term. (There's three terms) The total I'll be getting is around £7000+ For this year.

You should be okay, as you get loan and grant. I live off mine as my only source of main income to live at university. I work in summer holidays and have occasional term time work for the university.
