Any exercise......!! Just do it. ;)

While you can't target any specific area for weight loss, I would think riding a bike or swimming would be the best for toning the stomach and thigh muscles. Or maybe time for some weight machines at the gym.

But alas, if it's just loose skin.....not much can be done short of plastic surgery. -_-

If you mean excess skin, there's not a ton you can do. Strength training will help build muscles in those areas that can help "fill out" your skin a little, replacing the fat that used to be there. But, as the previous poster mentioned, surgery may be your only option for excessive loose skin. Definitely be sure you are getting enough Water, moisturize daily, and you can try supplementing with Vit. C, Vit. E, and beef Gelatin, which are all supposed to help improve skin elasticity.

If you still have fat in those areas that you are trying to lose, there's nothing you can do to target those places. You just have to continue to reduce your total body fat percentage and hope the fat eventually comes off in those areas.
