feelings of mourning time lost while i was fat/old, bigger self??

hi! i've been a lurker ever since i started seriously losing weight (18F, 5'4'', highest 213, currently around 162) and i just wanted to get some stuff off my chest and see if anyone else relates?

i've always been bigger. i was a overweight kid, obese teen, and now officially turning things around for college. while i'm not at my goal weight by any means (still have about 15-20 lbs to go) i'm more confident, less embarrassed of pictures people take of me, feeling like i fit in with my smaller friends better, etc. all good things in my opinion!

but, lately i've been feeling really down. not necessarily about my weight loss, but about the time i spent throughout all my teen years being bigger and unhappy/insecure and not out there having the ideal teen experience? i know i'm still incredibly young (literally 2 months into my freshman year of college) but a part of me is looking back and mourning that time i could've already been thinner/thin? if that even makes sense? i looked back at my graduation pictures and i was massive compared to now! thanks for listening, would love to hear any other perspectives or advice for dealing with these newfound emotions if anyone else also lost weight entering adulthood.
