BF(body fat) at 180 pounds?

BF at 133 pounds?

BF goal?

I don't know what it was when I was 180lbs, I was 140ish post baby, 185lb after baby #1 (2011) got down to 150lbs but got pregnant again in just a few months, after baby #2 (2012) I was 178lbs. It was all kind of a whirlwind.
I just joined a gym to begin weightlifting and I have some sort of physical test on Monday where she will be doing my body fat as well. I can let you know after that though My goal would be around 20% i think.

Edit: Sorry, this is relatively new to me, all I know is my goal is to get rid of the lower belly pooch and extra fat around the thighs, I will update after my session! And thank you for responding!
