Loose skin at 60 lbs down - what to expect

Only about 14 lbs into this myself but I already had the same worry around my waist. From what my sister went through losing 80 lbs, the skin settled a bit over a couple years and building muscle helped fill things out, though hers never snapped back completely. Sounds like patience is the biggest factor based on what everyone here is saying.

Lost 76 myself and the belly definitely lags behind everything else, but building muscle underneath did more for how it looks than I expected. Mine kept slowly improving through the first year or so, just never got fully firm. Worth knowing surgery exists as an option down the road, but I'd wait and see where you land before thinking about it.
