I am 5'6 and 148 lbs. How much weight do I need to lose to be healthy and fit?

I do want to lose weight, its my New Years Resolution. I am thinking 130 lbs is a good weight?

That'll give you an estimate. Its not completely right.
But you're not overweight now, especially not if you're really muscular. My sister is your size and weight, with like no body fat.

Yeah, not athletic or that muscular. Most of my muscle is in arms. (Live on farm, tote feed bags etc). Thanks for the link!

If you're wanting to lose weight just lose like 10 to 15 pounds, but don't do it by starving yourself.

Yeah. I've lost 5lbs in one week using intermittent fasting. I fast from 8pm to 2pm the next day and then i eat less calories than my body burns daily. Its the fastest way.

target 130 and see how you feel from there... That seems a good goal to start for.

125-135 is a nice range if you have an average build.
