What Can I Do to Drop More Weight and Tighten my Skin?

I had my surgery in 2008. It’s going to three years in December, and I have lost a total of 63ibs which brings me to 180ibs. I have not lost any weight ever since. If I lose 15ibs I usually gain them back once I stop working out. I have a lot loose skin in my stomach. Since right now I have no time and I am not able to afford a trainer I am trying the acai berry easy cleanses pills to see if it can help me drop at least 10ibs. What else can I do to help me drop weight and tighten my loose skin?
