10 lbs is far too much to hope for. It's too much to lose safely. A pound of fat is 3500 calories, so to lose 10 pounds requies a calorie deficit of 35,000 calories, or a daily deficit of 1167 calories. That's a starvation diet that is unhealty. Your body would be forced to consume lean muscle with that kind of diet.
Aim for a weekly calorie deficit of 3500-5000. You'll lose fat and maintain muscle.
