NMR Spectra Analysis for unknown compound C6H12O

^I have to find the structure of this.
Note: The signal at 2.1 is actually 2 overlapping signals. There is a signal (3H) and a multiplet (1H).

I know from the IR that I have sp3 C-H, and a C=O group.

From the NMR analysis, I know that I have 3 signals that I'm supposed to be worried about.

My initial structure idea was CH3COCH2CH(CH3)2, but I'm not sure if that's right.

Can anybody give me some hint as to where I should start thinking about this problem?
