I am 5’2" (almost 5’3") and weigh around 180. How much weight should I lose before getting a breast reduction?

I first started thinking about a breast reduction around 3 years ago but I only recently decided that I actually want one. I have really bad shoulder and back pain, I have for a while, but I don’t know if it’s actually from my breast weight. I gain and lose weight really often but right now I am around 180 pounds.
