Brief Answer:
Striae

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images

You seem to have striae distensae or stretch marks. They could have arisen due to weight loss, weight gain or use of potent topical steroids which causes breakdown or tear in the dermis due to collagen loss or atrophy. Unfortunately they can't be reversed entirely. You may use a topical retinoid like tretinoin 0.025% cream at night. That would help in collagen remodeling and also help lighten the skin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
