Can weight loss result in an inverted nipple?

shellbelle8988
I have over the course of 8 months lost 100lbs. I noticed the skin on my breasts is a bit looser and my right nipple becomes slightly inverted while in a bra or clothing. But when not confined, it seems just flat and normal. I have no lump or pain, no discharge or any other cancer symptoms I can find. Can the weight loss be the issue?
