In the past year I lost 25 lbs or In the past year I've lost 25 lbs

Should I say/write, "In the past year I lost 25 lbs" or "In the past year I've lost 25 lbs"?

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

Thank you.

"In the past year I lost 25 lbs" This might be talking about the situation a tthe end of the year, or it might refer to some point during the year. eg you may have regained the weight by the end of the year.. "In the past year I've lost 25 lbs" This sounds like you are talking about the situation at the end of the year.
