Advice needed - subletting place 'till end of lease whilst also looking for a lease takeover for myself? Doable?

Advice/Question

Hi! I was just hoping to get some opinions or guidance on my situation. I currently live in a 3br with 2 roommates, and there's about 5 months left on our lease. I am hoping to sublet out my room for the remainder of the lease (landlord would allow this). My commute from my apartment to my job (in-office 5 days a week) is just too undoable. At the same time, I would love to find a lease takeover for a new apartment (studio / 1br) with the option to renew.

Is there any way I could pull off finding a subletter for my room whilst simultaneously securing a new place? My worry is that I will either find a subletter but not before I find a new apartment, or vice versa, and either end up stuck paying rent on 2 places at once which I cannot afford to do, or end up without a place to stay after moving out for the subletter.
