Will I need a Tummy tuck after losing weight? (photos)

Asked By:kayl194a in Newcastle, AU

I'm 16 and since the start of the year I have gone from 242 pounds down to around 200, I'm 175cm and looking to get to around the 150 mark I was wondering if I would have allot of loose skin left over. I regularly exercise around 5 times a week and incorporate strength training. Would this be enough to avoid loose skin or would I have to get a tummy tuck.
