I am 5'2 147 lbs. how long will it take me to lose 10 lbs? I exercise 3-4 times a week.

I think you should set your rate of loss on the App to 1 lb/week. And then shoot for 10-12 weeks at the fastest. If you eat at what the app tells you -- and you're accurate with all the weights of the food you eat -- you'll lose fastest in the first couple weeks and then it'll slow down after that. Don't give up if it slows down. Just keep logging.

Here's some of my favorite threads on here.

If you follow the plan - hit your calorie goal consistently, weigh all your foods, use the correct entries, and no "cheating" - and you don't have any medical issues that interfere with weight loss, you should be able to accomplish that in 5 - 9 weeks.

It is great that you have started exercising, and you need to address diet as well.
It would take me 8 weeks to lose that weight properly, but I could do it in 2 days if I starved myself and wore a neoprene sweat suit.

There is a better way.
MFP has recommendations about 1 pound of weekly weight loss where we log in our foods and exercises.
