I recently (well, over the course of a year) lost 120 lbs. It feels great to loose all the weight, but now I have another problem.
I have a bunch of loose skin on my waitline area, where my gut used to reside. And when I say a bunch, I mean...well, not to gross people out, but it's just not flattering. Don't get me wrong...It's not hideously digusting, but it's a problem to a point where I still kind of fret going in public places with my shirt off, even though I've started get muscles on my arms and chest. My stomach, however is a different story.
I don't wanna get plastic surgery because it will leave a scar on my stomach. But I want to get rid of the loose skin around my waistline. Can somebody help?

I lost the weight from running each day for 4-5 miles, around an hour. Cardiovascular activity is not the answer.

You don't need plastic surgery just to remove excess skin. They can cut it off, but you will have a scar. There is modern day techknowledgy to heal the skin together without having stitches such as like a special "band aid" (lack of the real name)...and a glueing that can be done. No matter what, you will have a scar, but it can be minimumized.
Their is no other way to just "lose it". I was a weight lifter at one time and stretched the skin because I bulked up alot. After quitting, I had lose skin and what is called from lifting is "bitches tit". Through the years the skin tightened, but never the same. Good luck. I'm sure you will get replies about special creams also that are exspensive, but I don't believe you would get the result you want or need.

Try a skin firming cream, it may take a while but it should help a little. Other than that, pretty much just surgery.

muscle burns at least four times as many calories as fat does so try twenty minutes of strength straining two to three times a week

Maybe try doing cardiovascular work and exercises that target that area. Eventually, it may go away.
