Thanks for the question -

Congratulations on the weight loss!

Unfortunately there are no exercises for reducing skin.  It is common to have excess skin after weight loss.  There are radio-frequency and laser treatments marketed at tightening skin but typically patients with large weight loss require surgery to fix these problems.

In your case it sounds like a mastopexy may help with the issues you're concerned about.

I hope this helps.
