With not a vein in site or any evidence of one even being in the forearm and the obvious blubber hanging off your torso, easily 50-70 lbs needs to be lost.  I can refine that a bit with some better photos, but know that 50 is your minimum.

No way to tell from these pics. I wouldn't expect to end up anywhere above 160lbs though.

if my weight at 11%bf would be 160lbs, then my contest shape must be like, 125-140lbs@6 feet tall. i was about 10% bf at 155lbs when i played football at 15 yrs old,so i doubt that...i do have a decent amount of muscle

10% is a flexible term. Well, just do it and see where you end up. It's the only way you can really find out. The first cut is always a humbling experience.

hahahaha, Jay cutler has no evidence of a vein in his forearms when hes standing on mr.olympia stage. vascularity is largely genetic.

10% is quite ripped.

I think 40 lbs at the very least.

Bad idea, you are in danger of falling into the permabulker category.  Section 8, paragraph 4 of the getbig handbook states that one characteristic of a permabulker is that they are already planning their next "bulk" when they still have a long long way to go on their cut. 

Honestly bro if you have been lifting for a while you should already have some muscle under the flub.  Just work on cutting and what muscle you do have will look ten times better.  You do not have time to fully cut, then bulk, and then diet for your July event.  Even if you were on a lot of steroids that would be very difficult.  So my advices to you would be to just focus on your cutting thru July, and after you hit your ideal point of leaness then do a bulk if you want but don't go overboard.  Set a limit like you won't put on more than 15lbs, and if you exceed that you will immediately start dieting.  You don't have to put on 30-40 lbs of fat to gain muscle, the pros do because they are on lots of gear and are lazy. 

Hope I was helpful, cuz I usually don't make this long of replies.

I am hoping to reach 140lbs and be at my goal...that being generous. Since I have only fat and no muscles I guess even 120lbs would be ok.

probably only lose 1lbs of fat a week, 2 at the very most (note: 1lb of fat, not 1lb of weight) and will take longer than 15 weeks. yip yip
