Say you gain 100 lbs sitting on your rump. Then one day you decide to crash diet and lose 100 lbs. Guess what. Whereas what you gained is all fat, what you lost is in the form of fat AND muscle. It is impossible to lose fat without losing muscle. So, say you lost 70 lbs of fat and 30 lbs of muscle . You are still carrying around 30 extra pounds of fat AND you have less muscle to support it. This is what is called loose skin, but it is actually fat.
The answer is to keep losing the weight with diet and cardio to keep losing but also do some weight lifting to build your muscle back.

you can try, exercise and lots of fluids might help the skin rebound. It really depends on how old you are and how far the skin was stretched in the first place as to whether or not it can rebound.

regrettably I dont think of so basically because you lost 50 lbs in 4 months. they say the slower you unfastened weight the fewer drastic replace your physique has. additionally as quickly as the exterior is streched no remember how skinny you get, the strectmarks and unfastened dermis would be there. yet in any case congrats on your weight lost and shop on.

you can try creams and lotions first but aside from that tummy tuck is the only way to do it.

No, sorry. Tummy tuck is the only way.
