Do you know how much fat I have lost? Topic

Sumaiyah 03/11/22
I started dieting about 9 days ago and lost 7 pounds so far. I'm a 5"1 female that started at 132 and has gone down to 125. My end goal is 100. I know my weight loss has probably been all or most of just water retention loss. But do you know how much fat I have loss? I used to eat around 2500-3000 calories a day but only eat around 800-1000 or less now.
