Should I lose weight before or after fat transfer to the breasts? Will my breasts deflate if I lose weight after surgery?

nb1994
I'm 22 years old, 5'2" tall, and weigh 115lbs. I'm a 34B and really do not want to get implants so I've decided fat transfer is my best bet to get up to a C cup. I'm also getting personal training at the moment and will be losing weight and gaining muscle in the next couple of months. Should I get the procedure sooner rather than later? I'm worried that the surgeon will not be able to extract enough fat for the desired result but have also heard it's better to lose weight before this surgery.
