Hello,
It appears that you have the lost quite a lot weight suddenly y and due to which you have the lose skin condition. IN my view you should apply certain collagen peptides containing creams which tighten the skin.
Diet plays an essential role in regaining the skin tone. Moisturize your skin regularly and do not get exposed to direct sunlight.
Avoid any other treatment suggested by your friends or family members or otherwise self implicated therapies also. Most of the times any of the home remedies can cause problems.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and go for best treatment under his/her guidance.
Wish you good glowing skin,
With regards,
