Im not a trainer or nothing but if you do a search google, there should be plenty of exercises that you can do at home. In terms of lower half, maybe cardio like jogging, jumping rope, running on the treadmill. For your arms, maybe try push ups while on your knees even though you don't want to do them.How much do you weigh?

You need to focus on compound lifts. Learn to squat, deadlift, overhead press, and benchpress

You don't need to do really heavy weight but those are all exercises that will help tighten your entire body

Depending on your flexibility, you may want to just try squatting and deadlifting with a broomstick. Move up to the 45lbs olympic bar when you have proper form (it may take a while, don't rush it and have patience). You should be able to use the 45lbs olympic bar for the overhead press and benchpress.

Add more localized exercises that go along with the muscle group you're working....
Lunges and good mornings on your squat day
Pull ups and lat pull downs on your dead lift day
dumbbell flys on your benchpress day
Side raises and front raises on your overhead press day, etc...
Throw in ab work, bicep work, and tricep work at your on discretion

If you do each one of those compound lifts a week (for a total of 4 lifting days a week) I guarantee your body will tighten up and give you functional athletic strength

keep at the cardio. also, when you loose a significant amount of weight, you may be actually tighter, but there could be excess skin... im not saying thats your case though. anyone know how much loss will do that? i think after awhile if you keep it up, your body will tighten itself up.

congrats btw, thats a good amount. how did you do that in such a short time?

Truth.
Lack of muscle is what gives that appearance that people believe is "loose skin". Continue your cardio, but make sure to lift also. If you use lighter weights, use more repetition.
