Overweight Since Childhood. White Stretch Marks All Over Tummy, Arms. How To Get Rid Of It?

Hi Dr. Surindher. I am Gam from the Philippines. I am 22 yrs old. I am 5 8 in height. I was born healthy. They say I was almost overweight when I was in elementary. I was a bit overweight in highschool. Until I reach this age and now I weigh about 99kg. I started having stretch marks all over my tummy and the are on my arms through my armpits. They used to be color red. Now they are white. I ve been reading articles about getting rid of it but all they say is there is no real treatment. There are lasers and all that but it costs a lot. Do you know any cheap way to at least improve its appearance? I was also wondering if it will be gone if I try to lose weight. Thanks and more power.
