Do I have fat or lose skin?

loose** (:

Hi, I recently lost 90 pounds and I'm trying to lose my last 10. I'm 130 pounds right and 5'8 and I have lots of fat for some reason. When I do pushups or planks, my stomach sags but when I stand up, it just sort of bulges out. When I pinch it, I pinch thickness but I can stretch it pretty far...

    Congrads on weight loss.
    I'm thinking it's skin. I think a doctor would be able to say so for sure.

    Pinch it. Does it feel empty? Then it's most likely skin. If it feels full, then it would be fat.
    Congratulations on the awesome weight loss!

    thanks everyone :D
    is there a way to get rid of the loose skin?
    I'm afraid to start toning and making my journey towards abs if the muscles are gonna be covered by loose skin.
