Started at 160. Currently at 123. Aiming for 110 potentially. I'm beginning to see a little loose skin on the stomach. Any spefic exercises or routines I can do daily to tighten the skin before it gets more loose?? Any advice welcome. This was my biggest fear at the start of my journey

Skin isn't muscle and can't be exercised.
It takes time to recover (up to 2 years perhaps...). How much loose skin you have is down to the amount you were overweight, genetics and age.
You have youth on your side so will still have good skin elasticity.2 -
You might see some tightening up within a year ... it's been a year for me, and my loose skin is pretty much tightened now.
But I've heard it can take up to 2 years.1 -
I've lost 55 and still have 90 to go and I have sagging. interested in replies. I tried using coconut oil but because my dog takes coconut oil for her skin she wants to eat me too when I smell like a coconut lol.1
