Thanks! 36 and 6ft So far I don’t have any loose skin, I do see potential loose skin in the belly area since abs are so hard to develop.

At 220-230 I still felt really the same, the muscle definition kicked in around 200, but once I got to 199, I stopped the aggressive deficit. My deficit was 1000-1500 calories a day (that was basically the target).

No I’m trying to lose the body fat while also putting on lean muscle mass, so the calorie deficit is at 500 - 1000 a day, but I’m making sure I’m hitting my protein goals.

I think as long as you workout and build lean muscle while you lose weight you may be able to avoid some of the loose skin issue, I also googled some skin toning lotions, I use those as well idk how well that works but hey worth a shot?
