I figure if an overweight individual is trying to lose about 1-1.5lbs a week, it should be around 3-4% of their body fat every month?

    taking into account overall LBM and BF, yes, 3 percent is definitely realistic. 4 percent is achievable, but long term it would probably be tough to consistently hit.
