How would you calculate body fat percentage at a given goal weight? How much of your weight lost is actually fat? (M, 6', 235, 23)

This is something that has really been messing with my head when trying to com eup with a goal weight. A bit thing to keep in mind here is that I am an avid lifter, and am after a certain physique. I also perform much better when I have a solid plan of action, and tha tis why I am asking this question.

For example, I am currently 235 pounds at 27% body fat. If you go just based on body fat, I would be about 202 at 16%. I know this to be entirely false, because even at around 185 pounds, I am barely getting close to having abs (14-17% range), and I am someone who has quite a bit of expreience lifting and a solid base of muscle mass.

I am really curious how much of weight loss is actually fat mass. Is it generally arounf half? I would like to calculate a weight a given bodyfat percentage, but really can't seem to fall on a number that seems legit.
