something like...
... the skin is loose and floppy around the thighs, waist and buttocks, with loose flaps hanging down around the waist/tummy, etc.
I can't imagine that there is a "technical" term here.

: I agree that they're unlikely to use a technical term. Perhaps 'loose, unsightly skin folds..'

develop a double-chin belly
Just an attempt (can't say apron)

Sabine Akabayov, PhD
: never heard of this. Anyway, a double chin is fat, the phenomen described here occurs after losing weight and the excess skin forms the "Schuerze"

an (abdominal) apron can form
It's the same idea in English, as you'll find if you Google "weight loss+apron".
"However, drastic weight loss, when caused by bariatric surgery or extreme dieting, may leave behind massive amounts of excess skin. The extra skin and fat hanging below the belt line in the lower area of the stomach is called the pannus, or abdominal “apron”.

I like the idea that it even has a Latin name!

Not much better, though - sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade!
