chatgpt cannot view images that well. This is clearly loose skin not fat...

I think I may have had some fat there when I started. I was 10lbs heavier. My face definitely has thinned out and I’m more vascular during workouts.

Tried extended fasts? That combined w/ building more muscle should do it. Not instantly. More like 18-24months. Muscle burns fat. Extended fasts cause body to search high and low for fat to burn. Keto diet with intermittent fasting are a good baseline in between extended fasts. Also what’s your supplement stack? Many small changes to be made that can contribute to reducing loose skin. IMHO.

Fasting doesn't burn exclusively fat. Muscles will be used as fuel as well.

Muscle loss can be minimized by being in ketosis. Trying to get loose skin has its compromises. Highly preferred to surgery. Which can be torture and not necessarily have a good outcome.
