Just being older means the skin is not as elastic. But loose skin is a matter of losing too much weight too fast. Lose slowly, and you'll be glad.
Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats.
It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.
Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog

All you have to be, is FAT and lose the weight... too fast = hanging skin!
You have to exercise and drink LOTS of water! Age has little to do with it. You took years to expand your skin, you can't expect it to bounce back in just a few weeks.

It's not your age, it's how quickly you lose the weight. If you lose weight too rapidly, that causes your skin to sag. Lose weight gradually and do toning exercises to help prevent excess sagging.

natural applesauce is an excellent dip for fruits such as bananas and melons
