Can losing weight cause loose skin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Loose skin: Losing a large amount of weight faster than the skin can accommodate will definitely lead to loose skin. Weight loss of 10-30 pounds shouldn't cause that.

Commonly: Skin stretched beyond it's elastic limits will sag.
