It depends on how you carry your weight. For me, it made a huge difference. Considering you're already at a healthy weight, it's possible it will make a big different for you, too.1

It could. I lost 15 but can't tell the difference when looking at myself .But were all shaped differently.1

i'm 6' and about 175 now but getting into the 165ish zone means a defined 6 pack and visible striations on my arms, lower stomach and a little on my legs. I'd be very surprised if dropping 20 would not make a significant impact.
My advise is to go for it. When you're at a low bodyfat %, bulking is much more fun and motivational since you can notice every ounce of muscle that you gain. Get lean, then get big.1 -
You will look more gaunt, the face always shows first.0
