Dear Cosmanles,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you might benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Liposuction can help thin this to make significantly smaller and leas noticeable and is relatively easy done with local and minimal downtime. It is troublesome to perform liposuction of the pubis at the same time of tummy tuck as there is increased chance of infection, healing problems and dehiscence. Nonetheless, it is worth doing. Thank you.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! It's difficult to tell from the photos if the contour that concerns you is from the scarring from the tummy tuck, if there is fullness of the mons pubis or both.  If it is simply fullness then some localized liposuction should improve it.  A scar revision can be performed to help the area lay flatter.  It does not appear that a full revision to your tummy tuck would be needed.

I would suggest the liposuction first to see if that will resolve the issue. Once healed, if you have excess skin, then it could be excised.
