Brief Answer:
These are stretch marks

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
These are stretch marks associated with loss of weight.
Try to loose weight more gradually in order to prevent formation of these stretch marks.
