body fat percentage

Hi there, I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice. I'm female, 5'6, 130lbs so within the healthy BMI range, and my body fat is 28.4%. I have recently lost over 4 stone and my stomach looks like a deflated beachball :( I do an hour of cardio 5 days a week (jogging or stationary bike) and have recently started some light weights, concentrating mainly on my arms. I need to know (because the internet is telling me loads of different things) what percentage body fat I need to have visible abs, how it is possible to achieve this and a rough estimate of how long it will take. I am on a VLCD (500-600cals a day) and in ketosis (this is all approved by my doctor so no lectures please, it works for me) Any tips would be much appreciated.
 
It probably varies person by person and even by gender. I'm a guy 5' 10" 182-185lbs(depending on the day and what time of day). I'm at 14% right now and my abs are just starting to show again. If I am at 10-11%, then it's the real deal.
