How Soon Can I Do a "Mommy Makeover" if I'm Overweight Now?

I'm 5'1" 167 pounds. My ideal weight is 120 pounds. I plan on exercising and dieting before I do my mommy makeover, but I just want to know what weight I can do the the surgery? I heard that you should have 20 pounds so the lipo works better. I'm probably going to get a tummy tuck, lipo and breast augmentation with my makeover. Help?
