You get stretch marks when u suddenly gain a large amount of weight. Im 5'1" and about 130 pounds which i think is realli fat. i have some stretch marks on my thighs too. Use cocoa butter cream daily to help them go away. It worked for me!

You can use coco butter and get a tan and they wont appear as bad

Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched out of shape, or when there is too much weight pulling on the skin. You can't get rid of them, but they will fade.

20lbs is a great goal try loseing 1-2lbs a week at the most, and do not eat ice cream eat frozen yoghurt in small portions.
