Question

Am I good a candidate or eligible for lipo360 &/or tummy tuck? I'm 5'0 and 168 lbs. I'm done having kids.

Not the greatest candidate because your BMI is about 33, obese. However, it is doable.  You may not get as flat a stomach as you would like, because the intra-abdominal fat present due to your weight will make hard to tighten your front.  Here's a pic of a lady with a BMI of 30, 5'1" and 160 to give you an idea.
There's another patient in the gallery with a BMI of 33, two weeks post op and you can see the results will not be as pleasing.

If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement.  The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Thanks for 1 posted photo. Your bmi is over 32 so wright loss would be helpful. But you need either 2 separate surgeries in office operating suite - either TT or lipo 360 first or either one first followed by 4-6 months fir Dr ind operation. If done in Ambulatory center or outpatient hospital setting then can combine both surgeries 
Best to virtual consult with….
