Stomach skin getting worse

Hi all
I was very lean when I got pregnant, I worked out regularly and had a very good diet. I put on nearly 5 stone partly due to excess water and a big baby but also partly due to just over eating. I have now lost all the weight and am actually lighter than pre pregnancy. However at around 18months pp I felt that the stretched skin on my stomach looked pretty good but it now actually looks worse. Had anyone else experienced this where it improves but then seems to worsen again? If so what can you do?

Have you been assessed for diastasis recti? An appt with a good pp physical therapist would be a good first step.
