What does skin weigh?

Hello Everyone,

I am at 29 year old female, 5'4 and 131 pounds. I lost a little over 100 pounds in the last year and now have quite a bit of excess skin. I know it just comes with the territory and there is really nothing I can do about it, so I am okay with it. My question is about my ideal weight. I started out at 244 and wanted to be 150, then 140, , 135, and then 130. From the research I've done online my ideal weight would be anywhere from 120-135. I would really like to be 120 pounds, but should I take the excess skin into consideration when determining my weight. Meaning, is it realistic for me to be 120 pounds, or would however much the skin weighs mean I was really less than 120. I don't want to go under 120 because I don't think that would be healthy.

There's really no way to tell. I would guess a buffer of maybe 5-10 pounds.
