What parts of your body are you soft.  Losing weight is a great start, I am proud of you. What type of exercise do you do and what weight machines or  free weights are you using and how much weight have you been progressing from and too over the course of your weight loss?

Sounds to me like u have some left over skin and thats why youre soft. U know your skin is the problem if u lift ur arm and feel like theres sagginess not entire fat hanging from the top bulky part. The solution to this is lots of stretches (yoga) and lots of water and veggies because thats what u need for ur skin to tighten to ur new inside form

Hello there,
Firstly I will advise you to eat the right types of foods .All the strength training and running or swimming will not help you manage your shape if you don’t eat the right food. Consider your portion sizes and avoid eating too much food. Maintain a healthy balanced diet. Include aerobic exercises such as running, swimming, cycling, tennis into your week which increases your energy expenditure and makes managing your shape easier. Indulge in interval training which is short bouts of high intensity training, alternating bursts of intense exercises with intervals of light activity. This will help you burn more calories. Resistance exercises may help. Consider taking professional opinion if these do not work. Do write to me again.
Take care and regards!
