Can losing weight cause stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is usually the other way around. When you gain weight, you are more likely to stretch the skin. Many times, the stretch marks are not clearly seen until you start to lose weight. The good news is that at your age, after you lose weight and keep it off, the marks slowly improve. Good luck!
