Been using 12 strand D97 strings for a while but just got some X99 to try. Can anyone tell me what strand count for the X99 would be about the same as 12 strands of D97?

Maybe a few more stands than the D97.

I use BCY-X and need 18 strands padded to 24 at the loops.  BCY website says X99 is smaller and need 2-4 more strands but I've never used it.

I have been using x99 for a while now.  Slowly phasing out all the X I have as I run out of it.  In my experience, 16 strands of x99 is about the same as 12 of X.  18-20 strands of X is VERY close to 12 strand of D97.  I would bet you're looking at 24 strands of x99 to achieve the same nock fit.
