I bought this lithops last year as it was splitting (Picture 1). The guy who sold it to me, told me to not water it during this time. So I heeded his advice and left it alone in a bright spot on my windowsill.
2 months later (Picture 2) the old lithops largely dried up. I was advised to not water it until it is completely gone but the second twin(?) never really got free from the tight skin of the parent. It never really looked wrinkly in autumn and I did not water it in winter due to the dormancy?
I ended up manually removing the dried skin carefully and now it is spring and my lithops looks a bit mishapen (Picture 3). I have watered it a little in the past month but it never got any turgor back and remained wrinkly. The green sides also seem odd to me.
Would appreciate any insights from you to get it back in shape. Or if I misunderstand the watering cycle

Give it a proper watering if you’ve already given it a little bit of water
