Please get all medical advice from a medical professional.
What I've heard is that 2 pounds a week is the "safe recommended limit" for weight loss. 3 months is 12 weeks or 24 pounds, which is about 26. 2 pounds a week works out to, give or take, a 1000 calorie deficit. That's very, very easy to achieve if you're working out regularly. At the height of my exercising period a couple of years ago, I was burning > 3000 calories a day. There were some days I had to actually eat extra just so that I wasn't hilarious under my required calorie amount. On a 3500 calorie day, eating a healthy 2500 calories is proper work.
