Should I do Coolsculpting with a BMI of over 29 and 30 pounds overweight? Is this a good idea for an overweight woman?

docking
I am 5'2", 66 years old, weighing 170. I haven't excercised in months (and am flabby all over) and plan to get back to it and to lose at least 20'. Last night I signed up for 10 hours around my belly. When I look at photos, I don't see any that resemble anyone as overweight as I. Should I lose the weight first and then do the procedure?
