240 lbs, 6'3, 180 lbi. How long should it take to lose it?

[Llamatoe212]

I've been bulking for the past couple of months working out constantly and eating lots of protein and a moderate amount of carbohydrates. I take good fish oil and try to stay away from trans fats. I'm 240 lbs and 6'3 and my bmi is 25% and my lbi is 180 according to my own calculations which i think are right.I don't look obese but definitely still have love handles and fat in my mid-section. How many calories should i eat if i want to start a cutting phase and how long do you think it will take to lose the weight if i worked out with weights and moderate intensity cardio 2-3 times a week?

I went from 23-240 to 180 in about 7-8 months.

180 lb of lbm is a really solid amound of mass, how did you arrive at that figure?

I had a pretty big frame to begin with and i guess working out heavily with weights for 3 days a week for about 3 months did it. Does that sound abnormal? Because i could have done the estimations wrong but it all sounded right.

I calculated my body fat percentage which was 25 percent multiplied by my weight and then subtract that from my original weight. I think
