Edit for sudo fdisk -l
The question was changed today so here is how you can remove the extra output without resorting to deleting all your snaps and being left without a calculator and what not:
sudo fdisk -l | sed -e '/Disk \/dev\/loop/,+5d'
As this can be hard to remember you could create an alias in your ~/.bashrc:
alias fdsk="sudo fdisk -l | sed -e '/Disk \/dev\/loop/,+5d'"
Then simply type fdsk in the command line and enter your password when prompted.
As mentioned in comments /dev/loop99 are snap file system images described here:
Assuming you don’t want to uninstall all your snaps, your next best option is to hide them from output by appending | grep -v ^/dev/loop. For example:
$ df | grep -v ^/dev/loop
