Does loose skin from weight loss ever go away?

I am still on my weight loss journey.

I am 21 and 5'4

I was around 210 pounds and now I am 164. so i lose a total of 46 pounds. It took about 5 months. I still have 14 pounds to lose.

I have little to moderate loose skin. I was wondering if this will ever go away? Thanks

    Genetics and time are the key factors when it comes to loose skin. You're still young so the elasticity in your skin should still be there, it just may take a while for it to bounce back. Otherwise the only other way would be surgery.

    Probably not, I am a lot older than you and have lost 28lbs and have sagging skin I cant move

    it's unlikely. if you have saggy skin now, you can't do much about it. try losing weight at a slower rate to prevent that

    Yes as you build muscle.
