My target weight should be? (Men only)

I second this one! (Sort of.)

At 20% body fat you will start to look good in clothes that fit well,
at 10% you will start to look good at the pool/beach
at 5% you will be ripped
and only when you go below 5% will you start to look like you have gone too far. Most male fitness models will get down to 3% for a big photo shoot, but it's really tough for anyone to stay that low - even models, who make fitness their job.

Figure out what your BF%.

From there you should be able to figure out how much fat your have. At 20% BF or less you'll look good in clothes, look slim and be at a healthy weight. At 10% BF or less you'll look good naked and have a 6 pack. At 7% or less you'll start to get that gross too slim look that pro bodybuilders have (without the big muscles).

This, so you can figure out how much lean body mass.

So if you are 263 @ 25% body fat, you would have 197 lbs of muscle. So if you can get down to 15% body fat, you would aim for 226 lbs as your goal weight so you don't lose any muscle.

This was a question on my mind for quite awhile and I got my answer by googling "men 5'8 at 150 lbs" and also going to sub Reddits like r/progresspics and seeing guys my height. My goal weight initially was something like 175ish. Then I saw guys my height at that weight and they still complained of feeling a little tubby. 150 seems like a solid goal. I'm gonna get down to that weight and just work on putting on some muscle.

Your goal weight is fine as long as you know what to expect. I was 200 a couple years ago and still had the belly and felt fat. But only you can know what weight is right for you

5'9" myself, down from 208lbs, aiming for 160 lbs and then recomping slowly. Ideally want to drop my bf to somewhere in the 10-15% range, currently somewhere in the 15-20% range.

In addition, fitness models and BBers probably only stay at the low single digit bf for a day or two max - only what is required for competition and photos - they also dehydrate the hell out of their bodies by not drinking water before a competition for the shredded look - if i am correct, I think the night before, they totally cut water out of their systems---> basically for someone with 3% BF they will probably suffer headaches and light headedness from the dehydration and low bf

Exactly . Realistically speaking its impossible to stay at 3% bf
Even 10% BF is extremely difficult to maintain (for the average guy)

Trust me now , if you hit 10% BF with a decent LBM you will see abs and look shredded

*kitten*. Didn't even see that coming.

I'm a hair over 6 feet and at 188,5 my family is trying to talk me out of loosing more. I'm like.. WTH? 183 seems like enough for me before switching to maintain/tone up mode.
