Sagging fat or skin after weight loss; how do I get rid of it and improve belly button shape? (photos)

amberness
I've lost a lot of weight but am left with a "sagging" stomach, which I had when I was underweight also. How would I rid this? Does it require an abdominoplasty? I go to the gym several times a week and am careful with my diet. Is surgery not even necessary/would this eventually go away on its own? I'm hoping to at least improve my bellybutton from the "frown" to an "o" shape.
