Congratulations on your weight loss and welcome to FT!!
If you are losing weight in a healthier, slower fashion than you have a better chance of the skin returning to a tigher form, a quicker weight loss can result in loose skin. But, it all depends upon your skin's elasticity and that varies from individual to individual.
NO SUCH THING AS SPOT REDUCTION, sorry, your diet and exercise will be the only thing to give you an all over loss, we just seem to notice the areas where we carry what seems to be a larger amount of fat more and it drives us batty! Keep up what you are doing, be patient and know that you have made great strides already!! :)
