Is there a way to minimize excess skin?

I have lost 20 lbs, still have about 40 to go. Top weight 198 lbs 5'5" 54yo Putting the cart before the horse, but how do you deal with excess skin and is there any way to control it?

nothing you can do.

all depends on genetics, age, how much weight was lost, and time. Ive lost 100 pounds. i dont have any loose skin, but i do have a bit more weight to lose, so, we will see what happens.

losing slowly is also said to help. ive lost this weight over 3 years and maintained it for the past 2, with minimal weight loss during that time (maybe 10 -15 pounds).

after you lose weight, your skin continues to 'shrink' for up to a year or so.

working on strength training can also help.
