Probably surgery: Your skin may get a little tighter with time but probably won't go back to the way it was before weight gain. Consult with a plastic surgery to discuss options.

Excess Skin?: Congratulations on your significant weight loss; you should be proud of this accomplishment. Generally speaking, surgical excision of the “excess” skin will be necessary. Nonsurgical modalities are generally unsuccessful and will probably be a waste of resources/time. Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to advise you more specifically. Best wishes.
