Question: Humans are constantly evolving apadpting larger lungs or harder skin but will we reach a point where we stop evolving?

I didn’t realize that humans are evolving larger lungs or harder skin…at least I haven’t heard of this but I’m not an expert on human evolution. But one thing I can tell you is that as long as humans exist, they will never EVER stop evolving. Evolution happens every generation – some individuals have more babies, some less. Those with better surviving babies will pass on their features to the next generation, and those with less well surviving babies will slowly be “swamped out”. In the end, only those individuals that can for whichever reason have better surviving babies will be left. So, as long as we have babies, there will be evolution. Mind you, this is a pretty simplistic scenario..
