Conventional wisdom is to wait until you've maintained your weight for about 12 months. Some people do it a little sooner.

I have been at this platue for a year but just lost about 10 more lbs in the past 2 months... I'm 4 years out of surgery in August and have lost about 300ish lbs

Are you happy at the weight you are now? I don't think a quick loss of 10 pounds after maintaining for a year would have a significant impact on your skin, so you should still be fine to consider TT now. Just consult your potential surgeon and definitely discuss with them if you are seriously considering losing any MORE weight.

Not really if love to drop another 20-50 but that might be some of the skin I want to have removed... the 10 lbs didn't bother my skin I was just super excited about loosing it bc of the being stick for so long

Don't plan on losing weight with the skin removal surgery. Yes, it has some weight to it, especially if you have a lot of it, but the months of swelling and the weeks of inactivity post-op will cause you to, at least temporarily, gain some weight. By the time things level out several months post-op, it will be hard to say how much the skin removal itself has affected your weight. So you definitely want to be at or near your target weight prior to the surgery.
