Stretch marks are somewhat permanent, but many people swear by using Vitamin E cream on them.

I'm not an expert, but I would say that it's not possible to get them by losing weight. You're probably noticing them more because they come closer together as you lose weight.

Just out of curiosity, did you notice them multiplying with the same horror when you were gaining weight as you do now when they seem more obvious because you're losing weight?
