Loose skin or fat - is it fixable? [pics]

My daughter is 20 months old and I've got to say, for me, the tummy was the hardest spot to lose weight and tone but I does get better! I did the 30 day shred for 2.5m and that helped me get my fitness started but should by no means be your end game. It's tough at first but it isn't that difficult in terms of a workout. I also ran and did her 6 week 6 pack DVD for a year but didn't lose as much as I wanted, I'm just over halfway through p90x and have lost 3 inches already (I lost a total of about 4 inches last year) and I'm nearly there. I have loads of stretch marks but they have faded a LOT. I thought I'd never wear a bikini again but I will in 7 weeks time! I was 205kbs when I gave birth (145lbs before pregnancy) and 123lbs now, 23 years old, and 5' 6". So just be patient and don't give up!
Edit: I also found that my lose skin actually had fat under it like another poster said0 -
Thanks everyone, you've really given me hope and a little more confidence!
I've accepted all my stretch marks, I had a 9.5lb baby so I knew it would happen lol.
I'm glad you all understand my concerns, I'm not one of those moms that just bounced right back after birth,
I've already put in a lot of work, and I guess i'll have to continue it!
