If you do Pilates, you can strengthen your ab muscles which may give the appearance of less fat. My two oldest kids (both super fit) have turned me on to planks. They're hard. I'm not allowed to put a link in yet, but if you google planks or watch some plank youtube videos you can see how "easy" they are. And Planks really are easy - it's keeping the pose that's hard!

Also, you are young, your skin is going to bounce back a lot better now than 10-20 years from now. Focus on getting your diet under control to take off the extra pounds and start doing some core strengthening and cardio to help build muscle. One the fat starts coming off, you will start seeing that muscle, and hopefully your skin will (at least in part) tighten up.
I had a baby and gained 60+ lbs, and definitely have an apron (doesn't help that I had a C-section so the "apron line" is VERY defined), the more I lose, the less noticeable it is. It may never go away fully, but my skin has definitely tightened up some and I figure the sooner I get my weight in check and build that muscle, the better chance that my relative youth (I'm 26) will help my skin tighten up.
