Loose skin after losing 50 pounds

Hey guys!

I am kind of bummed out now that I realized this morning that I have a bit of loose skin around my belly. These days I thought that some of the last 4-5 pounds that I want to shed are stored in my love handles but apparently it’s loose skin I am dealing with.

It feels to the touch when I grab it just like my skin on the biceps where I have stretch marks because of growth so that’s how I know for sure. Feels kind of textured and not smooth. Looks a bit like love handles in the front and the belly button looks flat, mostly covered by the loose skin.

I know it depends on genetics how easily you get loose skin and on how fast you lose it, but I don’t know if I lost too much too fast (50 pounds since nov 15, with a 3 week break where I gained 8 pounds back, so almost 60 in total if this counts)

My question is, is there any way to get rid of this loose skin naturally or building muscle while maintaining weight would help? Since that was my goal after reaching my goal weight of 149 pounds. (5’10”)
