Depends: Talk to plastic surgeon to review your options. You need in person evaluation.

Not likely : You should see a plastic surgeon for an examination and evaluation. If it is truly loose skin and there is quite a bit you will need surgery. However if it is only fat and you have good skin elasticity you might be a candidate for liposuction, but from your description, i would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon. Good luck.
