Suggest Treatment To Get Tight Skin

I m 15, 5 11 , and weighed 156 lbs as of about 3 weeks ago. I ve never been fat but have never been comfortable or satisfied with how my body looked. About 3 weeks ago I cut down significantly on what I was eating. I m not exactly sure how much weight I ve lost, but Id estimate probably about 20-25 lbs. Im definitely satisfied with my weight now, but my skin feels loose. I have puffy nipples but when I feel them they re empty. I have quite a bit of loose skin on my stomach. I can pull it up about 2.5 inches. When I lay down I can see my abs but when I stand up my excess skin kind of hides them. How can I tighten my skin or tone my body to fix this. I forgot to add that I don t really have this problem when I get cold or get out of the shower, so tha s another reason I think my skin needs to tighten

Hi,
Just controlling your diet to reduce weight ,you loose weight by loss of sub cutaneus fat. That is why,the skin becomes loose.
Actually, loss of excessive fat along with development of muscles under the skin gives an ideal weight loss. that is without loose skin.
You should add physical work outs for complete body & specially for abs./body & facial massage/ aerobic exercises( for consuming excessive energy & loosing fat )
Thanks.
