What is my nasolabial fold being caused by? Excess fat or sagging skin? What surgery or lift would even out the area? (Photos)

[21, f]  Hi. One thing that kinda bothers me about my face is my weird nasolabial folds--I know that I have to probably get fat grafts or fillers for my undereyes, but I'd hate to have to do the same for my nasolabial folds. I used to be overweight and have been most of my life--we're talking 160-200 pounds, 5"6 within the past few years, and now I'm down to about 148. I am still slated to lose 20 more pounds and dunno how it'll affect this. When I'm laying down the problem doesn't exist.
