I'm 18, 103kg, 170cm tall. My BMI is 34, however i do have a bit of muscle mass. I do have a tummy that sags due to weight and want a tummy tuck to tighten it all up. I have tried diets, gym, and i'm a really active person yet can't kick the weight.

This is something i really want to get on top of.
