from 2010 to 2018 I weighed 95 kilograms plus or minus.

I am 50 now, 178.5 cms or a little over 5'10

Today I weigh 72 kilograms and I lost 13 of those kilograms over the past 3 months.
Now I have some loose skin ..........
Under my chin and on my stomach ......... but the rest of the body appears to have grown back into shape.

    Skin takes time to tighten if it is going to

    Age and genetics are the biggest factors plus how long you were over weight for.

    3 months is just too soon to tell.

    Give it time. There is also the possibility that's its actually fat that's pressed up against your skin, and because the skin isn't tight, it leave it sag.

    You are a little older so this can require some patience. Enjoy your new body and don't be tempted to return to your old habits!

    13kg (28 pounds) was very rapid weight loss for 3 months, especially considering that you were at a normal BMI during most of that weight. Rapid weight loss has many potential negative side effects, an increase in loose skin is simply one of them.
