What is a reasonable goal for a friendly body-fat loss competition between me and my boyfriend?

I am 28yrs., 5 ft. 8 in., 150 lbs, with 22%-24% body fat depending on the calculator used. My boyfriend is 27yrs., 5 ft. 11 in., 170 lbs with 24-30% body fat depending on calculator. We’d like to start exercising (we were both very athletic in high school and I also in college) but we have been pretty inactive for 3 years now.

I’d love for an expert to tell me what would be a reasonable goal to set for body fat loss if we commit to exercising 3-4x per week 30-45 min. each time for 4 to 6 weeks (no diet modifications yet, just exercise). I know guys burn it off faster than girls, so I would like to know what would be a fair, comparable loss for each of us. That way we can see who really “won” and have some fun with it.

Thanks so much for your help!
