We recommend consulting your doctor before performing any exercise post pregnancy. (I started gym after 3 months of pregnancy and avoided any exercise which targeted my stomach area).

2. Supplements: Diet is definitely the best way to sculpt your body and skin. If excess fat is stored in a particular area for a long time, the skin can become loose after you have lost weight.
