I don't think 10% body fat is going to be achieved through self-regulation/calorie cutting alone.
10% body fat is an EXTREMELY low %. I don't think that is realistic for most people outside very athletic folks. Reducing to 10% body fat requires a significant change in diet, not just reducing consumption, but actively changing your macro mix AND keeping a fairly strict regimen of strength training and cardio to keep the fat off.
I think losing weight as most folks (including yourself I think) agree with is reduction of calories. Then optimization of calories / lifestyle / workout regimen seem to be the next areas.
