So I’ve not weighed myself in ages and today I went on the scales. I weigh 12 stone and I am 5ft 6.
According to the bmi calculator I’m overweight.
I could do with losing a bit of weight but I don’t think I look overweight !

BMI isn’t an indicator of how you look in a bikini, it’s a health risk indicator so, regardless of how you feel you look, unless you are very muscular, it may be beneficial to lose a little weight.

2lb a week for 7 weeks is absolutely possible.
work out you maintenance calories here and reduce by 20% to get a calorie target for weight loss.
