    Personally a 10kg wieght lose doesnt seem to put you at a point were you would have to worry about loose skin if you are now 12% bf. Especially since you 17 the skin hasnt had a chance to be stretch a far way, or for a long time. If the skin can be pinched and is as thin as the skin on the back of you hand, its loose skin. If not its just fat. Like I said with your weight lose and age it definitely sounds like you have fat to worry about.

    Wrote all that before the pic, its fat I dont see anywhere really where you would have loose skin

    Looking at your pic I don't think you have loose skin. You just look to be at a legit 12-13% BF. As long as a bunch of skin doesnt drop when your arms drop I think you just need to stick to what your doing. I don't think I've ever really seen anyone have loose skin if they were just up to 18% BF

    Noway it's skin.
    All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

    I don't think it's skin.
    Anyways, nice progress. My goal is to get down to that, and I started off about the same BF.

    It's not loose skin. You look like just about anybody at 12ish % BF. Good job. Keep at it and the abs will show soon.

    Agreed. Pinch the skin on the back of your hand...That is skin with little to no fat tissue.
