    Not what you want to hear but I don't think there's a way to tighten skin beyond simply waiting for it to tighten on its own. Or having it removed via cosmetic surgery.

    yes, it's a pain to wait. I read somewhere that it takes up to two years for skin to tighten completely!

    You lost at an extremely fast pace, nearly 1 stone per month. Sorry to say but rapid weight loss contributes to loose skin, so now you will need to be very patient. You are young, so hopefully it will rebound nicely. Congrats on the loss.
