Lost quite a bit of fat recently. Skin on the belly isn't tight, bit loose. Is there anything I can do to accelerate the tightening process?

From watching embarrassing bodies it seems dependent on how much weight you've lost, the only way to sort it is quite invasive surgery

I don't think these anything but surgery that will help

This is something you typically see on MFP when women crash diet. Unfortunately, skin takes its time. You're lucky in that you're young so the skin is pretty elastic and you should have a taut six pack before long so surgery is probably unnecessary.

Have a sniff about MFP's forums to see what others advise to help nature along.

I'd rather say FORTUNATELY skin takes it's time, in that it does adjust. Surgery is only needed when patience fails.

Skin grows to fit. This means it will grow larger and grow smaller. You just need to give it a chance.
