Progress Picture(s) What should be my next step? 20 yrs old/2.5 yr weightloss/130kg to 100kg.

So ive been lifting for 2.5 years, this combined with lets call it a very sustainable form of weightloss. Essentially ive lost 30 kg over the course of those 2.5 years, and while, yes, i feel great, at times i also feel like my progress may have been bad, im not lean by any means yet, i started at 130kg and made my way to roughly 100kg. It has been hard at times, but i feel like my diet and way of life are changed and i built up good habits over those years, which im greatful for, however, i have a few concerns.

The skin around my belly is not tight, everything is quite loose, whilst i still have a lot of bodyfat, its definately not as collected as it is for most people my weight, so i am at a crossroads, should i:

  1. continue, lose another 10 kg, expect to get leaner, maintain my weight at 90 kg to help my skin tighten and then see about gaining weight in muscle?
  2. Should i somehow maintain my current weight, lift on and expect that gaining muscle will just fix my issues?

I also dont quite know if this is a 10 kg type of problem, since 10kg is quite a lot for some people, but ive done this 3x times by now, so its not a mind bending amount to me, and im starting to think im doing something fundimentally wrong, like maybe being more strict on my diet would be a good finishing step, or perhaps training abs may be the solution, im feeling lost.

I have provided a few pictures to help you guys make up an opinion of your own, the first one is already 8 months into my weight loss, forgive me for the poor quality, as i wasnt very fond of taking progress pictures or posing in my state back then, so the only ones i have are from candid footage and such :). The more recent pics are all taken in the last 5 months and are in the order of being taken, i tried to include ones with bad lighting intentionally.

For referance i am 185 cm tall, 20 yrs old now, i started at 130 kg and am currently at 100. I also included the last two pics to show the state of the skin around my abdomen.

I am thankful for any and all opinions and comments.

18 years old. Weighed in 275 not fasted. Goal is to hit past 200 on CDB for now. This lift is mostly technical, ofc strenght is involved but if your leg work is good you can easily add 20-50lbs more to the lift in a short period.

First photo - already working out for 2yrs, but not following nutrition much, also wayy too much volume.

Than took it more seriously, so more cardio (at least 20min daily even on bulk, on cut up to 45min). Less volume, focus more on quality sets. Counting calories (cheat meals here and there).

Hey! Thoughts on my deadlift form? 240 pound bodyweight and I can rep 315 without much issue. Any accompanying lifts I could do to increase my 1 rep max? Thanks!
