Sadly there isn’t really any way to significantly tighten skin especially a lot of it, the usual route for people who have lost a large amount of weight and have a lot of excess skin is surgery to remove it

Wow, Congratulations on your weight loss...unfortunately Kellykii is right. Only option to deal with your excess skin is removing it surgically.

Maybe do some research on Autophagy and fasting... Might help

Going to gym would definitely help. I would suggest getting a personal trainer to assist you.

If it's a lot of skin you'll likely have to have surgery. Starting to work out will tighten the skin where you can gain muscle (arms, legs, etc.) but you won't be able to gain enough muscle around your core area to actually tighten the skin.

I have watched a lot of 'My 600lbs life' and yes, a loss that big will need surgery to get rid of the skin. I have some lose skin and I find keeping my skin hydrated and the weight training that Crossfit provides does help some, but I have learnt to mentally accept myself exactly the way I am, no one else will care or even remember what I looked like..

No amount of gym will take away loose skin after 72kg. Well done on your weight loss.
I lost 42kgs and I had to do multiple corrective surgeries. Tummy and breast.

Gym will help to an extent but you will most likely need to get surgery. Well done. Amazing job.
