For AS flights, I'd generally arrive 15 minutes prior to boarding. I would not advise this to the OP, however. For me, no checked luggage and I use the TSA Pre-lite line (no TSA Pre at T7).I still find myself waiting around.
15 minutes before boarding (which would be about 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time) is too close for T7 precheck. I was there a month ago at around 5 pm. The wait was well over 15 minutes. 25 minutes is ok as long as it's ok if you don't mind missing the beginning of board (though with 25 minutes, you might make it before the beginning of boarding).
Just guessing, my wait times at JFK T7 precheck are (estimated)
early Dec 2019 / 5 pm / 20-25 minutes
Oct 2019 / 5 pm / 10 minutes
Sept 2019 / 6:30 am / 5 minutes
other dates / mostly around 5 pm / 10 minutes is common
