SAGGING CAN BE REDUCED BY DOING SPECIFIC ABDOMINAL EXERCISES. IDEALLY PREGNANCY ADDS ABOUT 15 KGS WEIGHT ON YOU. AFTER DELIVERY AROUND 4-5 KG IS SHRED OF BUT THEN 10 KG IS ALREADY THERE. SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK ON TO DIET AFTER 6 MTHS POSTPARTUM. ROPE SKIPPING IS ALSO USEFUL. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THE STRETCH MARKS NOW. YOU SHOULD HAVE APPLIED ALOE VERA AT AROUND 5 MONTHS TO PREVENT STRETCH MARKS. ONCE THEY R THERE THEY STAY

Exercise Is the ONLY OPTION. :-)
In extreme cases where sagging is associated divarication of recti muscles, procedure called abdominoplasty is helpful . in that case we need the help of plastic surgeon.
So Get examined and proceed.

Tieing a belt is not recommended at all as it can make it worse.
Doing aerobics and weight training does help to tone your body but only upto a certain extent.
It depends on degree of sagging and your weight as well.
The definitive answer can be a tummy tuck surgical procedure which can help achieving both goals ie removing stretch marks and flattening the tummy.
However , a clinical examination is must , before making a definitive plan.
I would recommend a surgical consultation -
Thanks
