Do i need to cut?

I've had three babies of my own, and my tummy still isn't as tight as I'd like... but it takes time and consistency! Keep up the good work!

Way to go getting back to a healthy weight after having four kids! That's so hard to do. I have had two myself. I'm 46, 5'7" and about 150 pounds right now (I have a lot of muscle). I do a lot of strength training, and have for about 10 years now to keep my back happy, and to keep my metabolism higher. My goal weight is around 144, but I struggle staying there once I get there. I think that weight training will be very helpful for your goals - if anything, you will love the way you look and feel. To be honest though, I think it is really hard for our "baby bump" skin to ever go completely back to "normal." Even with just two kiddos, mine is a bit soft and sticks out - even at my lowest weight. I imagine having had four, you have similar issues... I think we have to learn to be happy with how we look - accept our "battle scars" of having some lovely children and move on. Or, if you desire and can afford - surgery/cool sculpting might be the only way to remove what's left after we get to a healthy weight. You can't target fat loss... It comes off of us all at different rates and from different places. By the way - you'll gain weight while you build muscle - don't be afraid. Good luck, and again - congrats!

If you feel like you are already at a good weight then a re-comp would probably be the way to go. Should help with body composition without losing too much. Try eating at maintenance while doing heavy lifting. Like others have said, it is hard for females to really tighten their stomach after kids just from the stretch that it has taken on. You may be extremely lean but still have some excess skin from the pregnancy stretch.
