Will my body type stay the same throughout time?

[Monnymo]

If I weighed 116 and I gained weight and then lost it would my body look different then it would have if I never gained weight and then lost it? Like if I used to have really skinny calves and I gained weight and had chunkier calves for like 4 years if I lose weight will my calves be really skinny again? I am 24.

Thinner, but not definitely the same.
I lost a decent bit and I look different.
But it all depends on how your individual body handles it really.

Your body type will always stay the same, but it can look different with weight gain/loss.

Assuming you have the same amount of muscle, your body will be similar besides the additional skin from being heavier.

[Monnymo]

So I should focus on muscle? And would my skin be permanently heavier if I gained weight and then I lost it? Does does my outward body structure depend on the amount of muscle.

[cavmanier]

It depends on your goals. I meant you may get more skin if you gain a lot of weight. Stretched skin is permanent. I don't know what you mean by "does my outward body structure depend on the amount of muscle."

[Monnymo]

Thanks! You answered my question!

You may have stretch marks but it's better than being fat. Just workout you can change your body anyway you want

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Your body will look the same unless you lose / gain weight

[Sexualchrist]

No. Because your skin stretches and stuff.

[Monnymo]

I know that they are noticeable marks on the body when someone has stretch marks. Is that what you mean or does stretching alter appearance in other ways?

[Sexualchrist]

It changes the shape of your body, you're skin will never be quite the same, whether its stretch marks or the shape or whatever

[UnremarkableDay]

Skin would be stretched a bit, but that's it.
