Will I have loose skin after the weight loss?

In the middle of April, I was 292 pounds at 6'4'', and now, I am 244 after losing 52 pounds and gaining back about 4 in muscle. My goal weight is somewhere around 215, so that I can have a six-pack. I know in my heart that I can lose this weight, and I have the drive and desire to lose it. My concern is, will I end up with any loose skin? I'm 18 years old.

When people grow old, their skin have poor elasticity, even lose elasticity, so the skin may not go back for ever. Third, losing fat without doing exercises to build muscle.
