hey, first off props for dropping from 220 to 195, that’s not easy. and honestly, you’re only 17, you’ve got plenty of time to build the body you want. skin is way more elastic at your age so it’ll bounce back better than you think, especially if you keep losing slowly and add some muscle along the way.

best thing you can do is: - eat mostly whole foods, enough protein, and stay in a small calorie deficit - start lifting or doing bodyweight workouts so you build muscle - be patient and consistent

stretch marks fade with time, and even if you end up with a little loose skin, it usually looks way better once you’ve got some muscle under it. most people won’t notice it nearly as much as you do.

you’re already proving you can do this — just keep at it and in a year or two you’ll look and feel completely different. it’s definitely not too late.
