Advice for stretch marks!!

Hey, so I have recently decided to finally lose weight! In the process I really want reduce/lose the stretch marks with it! These stretch marks have been with me since I was in elementary school! Now I am 22 and well they have been with me for at least 8 years or more, yikes!! Any advice on how I could possibly get rid of them while on my weight loss journey, and I know some may fade away as I lose the weight but, I rather have it look like I had none! And I absolutely don't want to get it treated from laser surgery or etc..! Any natural ways/products that really works? Also, I have seen many people posting about "tummy tucks" and I was wondering do women who have been pregnant before get those? or do women who have never been pregnant get those "tummies, in need of tummy tucks" as well? And If so what can I do to reduce my chance of needing to get a tummy tuck after I lose the weight( I have never been pregnant, and I've had a big tummy since I was a kid). oh god just realized I typed a lot haha! well anyway I look forward to your responses guys! =)

    Mederma worked for me when I was younger. It's pricey but it really works.

    You can never totally get rid of stretch marks, they will always have that slightly shiny whiteness to them. A small base tan really makes mine less obvious.

    I grew up really quickly when I was a young teen so mine were really bad too, I'm 27 now and you can barely tell at all that I have any.

    I don't think you need a tummy tuck, for what it's worth. Skin is very flexible and since you're young, you should have no problem with lose skin as long as you lose weight slowly.

    The only thing that has helped my stretch marks has been time. Same with the loose skin, time and strength training.
