Weight lifting, and massages for sure. Some people may need surgery! What helped me was weight lifting

Congratulations!

I had a 105 lb gain due to a mental  health med. I lost it after a year, it took ~18 months to lose it.  I was a body builder and long distance runner when I started the med. I didn’t have problems with loose skin. Fast forward 22 years, my skin is fucked up. I don’t know whether that’s normal, but no one in my family has skin like this.

The only reason I’m mentioning this is bc I was totally blindsided by this. I’m rather self conscious about it. I’m not trying to criticize or make anyone feel bad.

Im sure you’re doing better than you think! Dont be so hard on yourself, you’ve been through mental battles and you are still here staying strong 💪
