    and even after knowing your weight, there is NO WAY anyone can lose JUST fat. we can give you a number, BUT you will lose some muscle while cutting as well

    Well then at the moment your lean mass is 166lbs and you have 34lbs of fat, if you could burn fat exclusively and not lose any muscle (highly unlikely as my esteemed colleague has pointed out) you would need to lose 11.4lbs of fat.

    No sweat mate, like SMAN says though you more than likely will lose some muscle as you cut but this will give you an idea.
