You'll need to compute using the data for your own aircraft, but a convenient loading calculator is: http://home.new.rr.com/trumpetb/alph/index.html

As George has pointed out you need to have the numbers from you own aircraft. No one else with have that information. If you don't have that you need to have your aircraft weighed.
Once weighed you could use the graph in the Owners Manual or the TCSD to figure your CG with a given load with paper and pencil, calculator or spread sheet.
The interactive web based calculator George linked to is for a B model (or A) and not correct for a '48 which you have.
The differences in capacity between the fuel system of the '48 and the A/B model and the arms of each system as well as a slightly different forward and aft CG limit is why you can't use a calculator meant for an A/B with a '48.
Once you have your aircraft numbers send me a PM and I'll send you an Excel spreadsheet with a graphical calculator I developed custom for a '48. (I have it for the A and B model for the asking as well)

i remember doing this,
going through the log books
reviewing all the changes etc.
found many simple errors
as shown below.
added this updated W+B to my paper work
and my mechanic signed it off.
it was a good learning experience.
know exactly what happened to my plane
since it left the factory.
