How come some people get loose skin and others dont?

A guy in his twenties loses 40lbs and has terrible loose skin.

A guy in his thirties same thing no loose skin.

How? 40lbs isnt even a lot of weight to loose.

    Genetics.

    ETA: and to some degree the rate at which that weight loss was achieved.

    In the end it comes down to genetics . But staying hydrated can help as well as being younger. But in the end it is genetics.
