Brief Answer:
Tretinoin and thermotherapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Stretch marks can be removed by using tretinoin cream.
However saaged skin is very difficult to manage medically.
Thermotherapy is of some use, you can try it.
I would advice you to loose weight slowly as sudden loss of weight may lead to sagging of skin which may not revert back.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
