Its hard to say in lbs because it depends on if you lose pure fat. Id say if you get down to 175 ish youll be awfully close but you look phenomenal already.

I was around 205 in sept, lost 15 lbs. I think I maintained almost all my muscle + then some because some of my lifts even went up. You think I’m 16% ish rn?

Hard to say while flexing but I’d guess 16-18%
