Default Excess skin?

Hello,

Heres my situation, Ive been actively lifting weights and doing cardio for about 1 year 1/2 and I went from weighing roughly 298 to now down to 187, but my midsection isnt tightening up as i want it to....so now Im worried if i still have alot of fat surrounding my midsection, of its just excess skin, and if it is excess skin what are my options? just surgery or is there anything else i can do? Thanks for any help in advance

It looks like fat to me and the best remedy for that affliction is a clean diet, heavy lifting and HITT training.

It might be a mix. Besides what was said above, putting on more muscle may help fill it out.

If it truly is excess skin though, it might be to the point where you may need surgery to tighten the skin up. I've never been that heavy so I can't say for sure.

abit of both in my eyes, coco butter for the stretch marks, clean diet, go for fat loss but not intense do it over a slower period of time whilst adding LMB, Try Carb cycling and also heavy abz workout Rope crunches, deadlifts and squats, to help fill out any loose skin that u have lift.

Your body will need time to tighten that skin. Keep lifting and gaining muscle. It'll settle after awhile.
