Loose skin or fat?

I have seen this question before but would like more opinions. How do I know if I have loose skin or fat. Doctors say from my pics it looks like skin but from what I have hear it is fat. When I pinch it I cant pull on it. In fact sometimes its even hard to pinch. Also when I push on it it bounces back. What do you think? Yes it hangs over but thats because I had a c-section. I see lots of loose skin pics and mine looks nothing like that. O_o Confused!!

    Every person is fat. I have stretchy skin that looks like it wrinkles if I play with it (yes I do lol) or if I am laying a certain way. My husband has lost 140 lbs and has a problem with skin the same way. Generally you can feel if there is still fat there, the skin will feel all stretchy. Either way I wouldn't worry about it too much. It comes with weight loss.
