got an offer this recruiting cycle, however I lied about getting a return offer from my SA BB.
just about to start background check - it is outsourced. Will they find out? Everything else on my resume is accurate (i.e. dates/title).
regret this, and am justifiably anxious, but there isn't much I can do now...

If there isn't much you can do now so why worry? Just wait and watch, and hope for the best.
I think companies are only legally allowed to disclose your official title and your start/end dates. You'll most likely be fine.
