I'm skinny fat. I have a slight gut. I heard you are supposed to cut to 10-12% and bulk to like 15% bodyfat. I'm currently 190 pounds, 6'3 and at least 18-20% bodyfat.
How much weight do I need to lose to get to 12%? Would weighing 170 do it? And how much time would you recommend I lose it in? Any advice would be nice. I've been lifting for a year and I don't even look like I lift.
Edit: 190, not sure why I put 200 pounds. I was 200 a few months ago, but this pic is at 190.

A pound a week is a nice moderate cut. Maybe 1.5 lbs/week. Drop 15-20 pounds and reassess.

1lb/week till your happy with what you see in the mirror. You are far from fat now, I would guess 15-20bs and you will look lean.
