How to decide goal weight?

To start off, I'm finally trying to be focused on losing weight. I'm 5'6" 26 years old female. I'm currently at ~339 pounds. My highest weight was 359.8 but I was steady at 320 for 5 years before that. Ideally, I'd like to be closer to the lower 200's but I know that's a far fetched idea right out of the gate.

So how does one figure out what their goal weight should be? I've been overweight since middle School, so I don't remember my body at different weights. I also know that loose skin can weigh a bit too, so I will have to keep that in mind as I lose the pounds.

I've seen my doctor recently, and she mentioned average weight loss is around 5% a year -- which for me would be 18 pounds (which I have done already so yay!) But I'm not here for a 7+ year journey just to lose weight.
