you've never done it before? weigh ins are 24hrs before the fight? how much time do you have before you need to cut? see where I'm going with this? you need to provide way more information before you can get a legit answer here. truth is your first cut 10lbs of water is going to really deplete you. especially since you are already pretty small. give more information and plenty of guys around here are going to be able to help you out
remember that when you have to drop water weight before a fight it comes at the cost of decreases levels of hydration all over the body. this reduces the rate at which the muscles can generate/re-generate ATP efficiently and also reduces the level of hydration in the meninges which is the membrane in-between the brain and skull making it easier to suffer a concussion and knock out blow.

Basically, you need to figure out how much you can rehydrate in the time you have between the weigh-in and the fight. You want to be able to fully re-hydrate by the time the fight starts.
You want to lose that in water weight? That seems crazy. There was a guy who I used to workout with who did some kind of martial arts and would sit in the sauna at the gym to lose weight before fights, but never more than a couple of pounds.
