I lost >40kg fat. How much more to go? 3~5kg? How to deal with the excess skin? Can I even do anything about it?

I didn't lose the weight too quickly and the excess skin had enough time to adjust. I have to admit that it slightly decreased, but not too much.

I also don't believe that I can gain enough muscle mass to fill that region.

Thanks for the advice! I may look into surgery in the future if I still want to. Accepting that it'll stay forever like that is tough, but in the longer term, it is a great way to go.

If it’s any consolation, I literally didn’t notice the hanging skin until I looked back at the photo after reading. It’s very minimal and easy to miss

Thanks! It's good to remember that other people view at me a little bit differently than I do
