    It's both. When skin is papery and wrinkled, pulls away from the body, and hangs in a way that looks like a slightly deflated water balloon where it forms a heavier mass in the bottom and pulls away at the top, it's loose skin with fat underneath. If it's just papery and wrinkled, feels light and hangs like a deflated balloon (without the mass part) it's just loose skin. If it just protrudes or hangs without any of the above, it's fat.

    That said, even something that looks like just fat (simply because fat still fills the skin enough not to let it wrinkle) can still produce loose skin as weight drops, but a smaller amount of it.

    My guess OP will have very minimal loose skin, if any, at goal weight.

    I'am at my goal weight. I was 156lbs and now I'am 115lb. I could still lose more if I wanted, but Im pretty petite everywhere else (legs, arms face) everything else seemed to have shrinked but im still carrying around all of this fat on my stomach. I could prolly lose 10lbs just in stomach fat :( ive also never had kids.
