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 think you’re pretty good from a weight loss standpoint. Maybe work on adding lean muscle mass now, perhaps that will fill up some of the excess skin.

Great work!

Thanks! Feels good to hear!

Do you really think that adding muscles in that region can fill the void?

I think it’s certainly worth trying before having anything surgical done. Dr. Mike Isratel on YouTube had some skin removed from his “love handle” area and he said the recovery was pretty brutal.
