Have your body fat percentage measured, then you'll know for sure.
According to our scale it's 28-30%, 48% Water. That means out of my 250
lbs, 120 lbs is water, 75 lbs is fat leaving 55 lbs for muscle, organs,
and bones. Something's off there, but close enough for me.
Still don't think 190 is going to look right on me.

So your lean mass is 175. If you could keep that lean mass and cut down
to 190 pounds, you would not look anorexic. You'd be as muscular as you
are now, and quite ripped at 7% BF.
