Not sure anyone can tell you since bodies are different. I'm 62 and lost 35 lbs (yes drugs, you are more virtuous than me) and have generally lost it all over. I still have a little bit of a belly but not much and it's not sagging. I'm also in good shape so have decent core muscles.

Do drugs give you an apron tummy?


No they do not. Significant weight loss does regardless of drugs.

I know, just pointing out that the OP should do some more research before pointing things out like that.


Totally ageee. It’s just virtue signaling on her part.

Some of it depends on how much weight was carried in the belly and how old you are and the condition of your skin but also the speed of weight loss makes a difference. Fast loss via surgery and for some folks drugs is more likely to cause loose skin but some loose skin is likely after slower loss if the loss is very substantial.


Is this your hunch or did you actually read a study that supports this claim?

Are you an apple or a pear and what do you have in the way of ab muscles? I lost 40 pounds, am almost as old as you and my stomach is flat with definition. My thighs on the other hand look terrible.

There’s no way to know. Cross that bridge when you come to it.

Probably. It's better than being fat though. Good luck!

I suggest consuming a lot of foods that promote collagen production in your body. https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/collagen-food-boost#tropical-fruits

The more collagen you have, the better your skin will respond to the reduced adiposity. I've been obese for several years related to health conditions and now those are resolved the weight is coming off steadily; my GP recommended weight training and the collagen promoting diet to help the skin keep up as the fat melts away.

Congrats on your positive health journey!

I dropped 45 pounds around age 50 (160 to 115) and didn't have any trouble achieving a flat stomach. I have no loose skin or sagging in my midsection, even if I sit at an odd angle.

But I ever had a protruding belly - my (excess) weight was distributed pretty evenly. I imagine this is just my rectangular body type.

Good question. I think it really just depends on the elasticity in your skin, and also where you carry your weight. My guess is 15lbs is not enough to cause this to happen.
