Exercise for loose skin

I have been feeling pretty good about how I have done with my weight loss. That is until this past week when my husband and my son separately told me that I need to do something about my loose skin. That it looks bad and I need to tighten it up. I have loose skin on my upper arms, thighs and a bit on my upper calves. Are there any exercises that you all have done that are effective in tightening these areas up? I have started with some light dumb bells for my arms, but am clueless as far as my legs go. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

What a terrible thing to say after all you’ve been through and how hard you have worked. Extremely insensitive, especially by your son. They should apologize. You’re going to be around for them a LOT longer. They should be more grateful. Are they obese?
