Saggy skin in youth: Forget the screwy diet thing-its useless. The skin has been stretched or distended by fat it has nowhere to goshen the fat leaves. Like the sagging face of starvation. The skin will shrink some over time. Depending on how heavy you were, stronger (heavier) muscle can fill some of the lost cushioning. More likely since you are young. Congrats on your weight loss. Keep up the exercise forever.

It depends: It depends on how much weight you have lost. If it was a significant amount, the fat is lost but the skin was stretched so far that it just hangs when the fat disappears. We are talking about a hundred pounds or more that would affect this type of change. If it was 20-30 pounds, working the thigh muscles will firm and build up the muscle structures that the skin will not hang.
