If I had to guess BF % Range, possibly 15-19%.
There is a pretty big difference in those two numbers.

Meanwhile, some guy at the gym was telling me that I should lift fasted, but then told me I don't need to diet to lose fat, just high reps???
Well, he is a moron.
First of all, creating a calorie deficit is REQUIRED.
You cannot do this through exercise unless you are a superhuman like Serge Nubret who just trained several HOURS A DAY. This isnt us. We are regular humans.
Secondly, you should LOWER VOLUME and RAISE INTENSITY (weight) on a cut. You need to give the muscle enough stimulus that it realizes its been worked, but not so much that it says "I need recovery" and then expects excess calories to build more muscle tissue.
You follow me there? If you up your reps and the like, you will end up overdoing things, and wont recover. Eventually you crash and say that bodybuilding is bull****.
You need to calculate your TDEE. This is what you need.
same thing here, remove the space. this is an article by lyle mcdonald on TDEE

I usually don't listen to people at the gym, and people like this are what make me suspicious. TDEE estimates the most lean body mass I can half right now at 10% BF is 185ish, which seems about correct. About 15 pounds off me would look about right.
Right now you need to stop thinking in terms of 10% and think in terms of setting the diet up, and just taking it a week at a time until you nail your TDEE finally, and have fat loss happening.
This is the first steps on a journey that leads you to understanding your body better than 90% of everyone else understands theirs.
And yes, you can definitely do it.
