Your old skinny sweetheart (5)
I believe the answer is:
thine
'your old' is the definition.
'skinny sweetheart' is the wordplay.
'skinny' becomes 'thin' ('thin' can be similar in meaning to 'skinny').
'sweetheart' becomes 'e' (the heart/centre of 'sweet'**).
'thin'+'e'='THINE'
(Another definition for thine that I've seen is " Yours (archaic)".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
