flabby
Loose and saggy
Flabby describes flesh that is soft and loose rather than firm—the opposite of toned or muscular: flabby arms, a flabby belly.
The word extends to anything lacking firmness or vigor: a flabby handshake, flabby prose, a flabby argument.
The connotation is always unflattering, suggesting weakness or insufficient effort.
