Red lines: This could represent striae; these are seen in areas where the skin is stretching like rapid growth or weight gain.Women can get them during pregnancy. They can also be seen in certain diseases that cause increases in adrenal hormone levels or if you are taking steroids (like Prednisone or medrol) or using a lot of topical steroid cream. In young people it's usually related to rapid growth.

Stretch marks: They are most likely stretch marks due to your over weight.
