And here is a video by Dr. Berg about cellulite and discusses the jiggly thing you are talking about:

How to Lose Cellulite:

Dr. Berg talks about how to lose cellulite. Cellulite comes from 3 problems: (loose fascia, enlarged fat cells and atrophied muscle. FAT CELL The fat cell enlarges with fat due to higher levels of insulin. This is influenced by insulin resistance. Estrogen can also be a factor since estrogen increases the fat on your lower half of the body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcEWThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZDUo… 1. Reduce sugars and carbs 2. 3-6 ounces of protein with meals 3. Lots of greens 4. No msg in your foods 5. Do intermittent fasting (3-2 meals with no snacking) 6. Add fat to the meal to go longer between meals. MUSCLE If the muscles are atrophied, then cortisol is usually higher, Cortisol, a stress hormone from the adrenals can can increase due to menopausal changes. The person is now breaking down muscle tissue faster than it is building back up. The medical term is catabolic. This term means break down.

When faced with multiple explanations for a phenomenon, Occams Razor is a helpful tool to employ i.e. the answer which requires the least speculation and assumption is often the correct one.

OP your experience is not abnormal, if anything it’s absolutely part of the normal process of losing weight. Given time and consistency, things will firm up. What I think we can all agree on is that you can probably speed that process up a bit with some fasting for autophagy if it really bothers you.
