does the speed of losing weight effect the amount of loose skin over time?

Hey, 24/F/5'7/276lbs, I'm still early in my weight loss journey (308lbs early Jan) but its going quite easy so far. my entire family is very obese and I want to be the first to change that and so far it has been very simple for me and I think I can lose even more with a few small changes but I was told by my family members to not lose too much too fast as it would create a lot of loose skin. I know this is a given and I expect loose skin at my weight/age but I am curious, in the end after all is done, does losing 2lbs a week result in less loose skin compared to losing say 5lbs a week? I know it would at first because it takes time for skin to bounce back to what degree it can, but I am wondering if I just lose more than 2lbs a week, will that loose skin still recover the same amount later on as if I lost less over time? (example being if I lose 100 lbs in a year or if i lose 100lbs in 2 yrs, at the 2 yr mark will i have less loose skin by taking longer to lose that weight than if i did losing it faster?) Thank you for any input c:
