    I'm sticking with my initial estimate - agree with FG, closer to 30% though.

    You are probably carrying a bit too much bodyfat to get an accurate caliper reading, for men anything above mid to high teens the results starts getting skewed and the numbers come in lower than what they truly are. I mainly mention this because as you start dieting and getting leaner the calipers might not show much reduction in bodyfat although it will be obvious your bodyfat levels are coming down.
