Quickest Fat loss for Reunion

OK. Here’s the deal. I used to compete in bodybuilding. But over the years, I have let myself go. I still train semi-consistently and carry a good base of muscle, but I am fat. I am 5’9”, weigh 240, and my bodyfat is around 23-26%. Not pretty, I know. The problem is that I have my 10-year high school reunion in 13 weeks, and I cannot show up looking like this. My question is this; how can I lose the most bodyfat possible over the next 13 weeks? I am willing to sacrifice some muscle in order to accelerate the fat-burning process, so I am looking for the most efficient bodyfat removal plan possible. Low fat, low carb, low everything? Aerobics once per day, twice per day, or none at all? Three meals per day, four meals per day, seven meals per day? Weight training will probably remain the same at 5 days/week, working each bodypart once using med-high volume. But other than that, I am willing to do whatever it takes to get in the best shape possible over the next 13 weeks. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your inputs.

P.S. I am natural if it makes any difference. I take whey protein, glucoseamine, vit/min, and occasionally creatine, but nothing else.

P.P.S. I am approaching this as if it were a competition back in the old days, so you can understand my level of commitment.

I'm not an expert but you could try what im doing right now. Eat half the calories you need per day and split them 50% from protein and 50% from fat. Eat low carb vegetables(no corn for example) to get some fiber and/or use fiber supplements(check the carbs).When you get to the desired weight increase the carbs in breakfast(oatmeal) and after training(post-workout shake of about 50gms of whey and 40gms of carbs. That should do it.
