Ok, best ideas on how to lose post baby weight and (somewhat) tighten the loose belly skin. Kid number 4 so i look like a tiger. Not expecting the tightness to be to my standards. Id love to improve it though, if at all possible.

    To lose body fat.. from any cause.. get into a calorie deficit. :+1:

    It's good to include full-body strength training too, to keep a high metabolism.

    Exercises don't target the skin layer. But since you're relatively young, some or most of the skin may snap back on its own within 2 years of losing the weight, and the stretch marks will fade.

    I've had 4 babies also, and heavy lifting (Stronglifts 5x5) and running, combined with a calorie deficit, helped me lose most of my baby belly. I still have a bit of loose skin, but on a good day I sort of have a 4-pack.
