What to expect from loose skin post weight loss?

I’m a 22 (almost 23) year old guy, 6’1, I’ve been around 350lbs for years now and have been fat my entire childhood. Just recently started my weight loss journey something I’ve attempted before and failed at because I was never really giving it my all. This time I feel very confident in reaching my goals as massive as they are to get down to 200 (I’m sure I’ll keep going and strive for muscle as well that’s just the main goal) in the next few years. I’ve got a good workout routine down, good diet, the actual process of losing the weight I think I’ve got down and plan on adding more muscle building workouts as time goes on.

My main worry is loose skin. I know a lot of factors go into it such as genetics, how long I’ve been fat, how quick I lose weight and more I’m not thinking of. I’m just wondering if anyone has had or seen the drastic transformation I’m going for before and can let me know how bad it’ll be. It’s not somthing discouraging me as I’d much rather have loose skin than be super fat, though I’d still like to know what to expect.

I do plan on losing weight pretty fast as I’ve cut my calorie count per day in half from what I was doing (now at around 2k per day with ALOT of that being protein) and am doing very long workout sessions using the 2nd hardest speed on an exercise bike and intermixing weights to give my legs a break. Usually I’m doing around 3 hours a day with around 25 miles biked plus give or take 2 different styles of 10 sets of 10 reps using some 15lbs dumbbells (30 once I’ve gotten more used to lifting). So I feel like I’m on track to lose a lot of weight very quickly and I know that’ll worsen the loose skin I believe.

So with all that in mind, how bad do you all think my loose skin will be? Any advice would be appreciated.
