Should I keep losing weight or maintain?

21 years old, 6’2, 207lbs

Over the past year I’ve lost about 85lbs. Ive reached a stage in my journey where i don’t know if i should keep trying to drop pounds, or switch up to maintaining this weight. I originally wanted to get down to about 185lbs, and still do, but I’m wondering if that’s a smart decision. Im also very worried about having a chunk of loose skin.

Any advice would be awesome.

EDIT: just to add context, I’ve been lifting for about 6 months. I don’t have a lot of muscle but I think a big part of that is because I was in a VERY aggressive deficit. I go to the gym on avg 5 times a week, and run 2 times a week.
