Hi. Ive stayed on a 1500 calorie a day diet since January and have worked out everyday. Ive lost 104 lbs which is quite fast, I know. I have loose skin in places and I've been told to wait a year before opting for surgery. Im 37, is it because of my age? Has anyone had loose skin like me and gotten rid of it without surgery? If so, please tell me how and what to do?

It's not because of your age. You can lose fat faster than your skin can tighten up to compensate. Think of a pregnant woman who has just given birth, it takes a while for her belly to get back to pre-pregnancy shape, but it usually does. A year should establish how much skin you actually need to lose (and if you can keep off the weight).

In the meantime, rub on some bio-oil or other anti-stretch mark oil and take plenty of fish oil
