How much do you lose, on average, when you do your "make the weight water loss" routine? If you can lose 5-6 lbs in a week to make a weight, then you are looking at really losing 6-7 more real pounds with 5-6 left to make weight.
Have you practiced that to see how much you drop and what your stamina is like when you rehydrate after the weigh in?

On the other hand, if you are in a big/long deficit with less water left to play with , then you might be looking at trying to just come in at your target weight, 9-12 real lbs in 12 or so weeks.
