Asked By:charlie25jake in Nottingham, GB

A few years ago I lost a lot of weight at the age of 15 from 14 stone down to 8stone 5 lbs and the skin from under my belly button is loose and has stretch marks stopping me from seeing any results from exercise to build abs, but I also have a little just above the belly button with no stretch marks which has left my belly button looking like a sad face. What would be my best option.
