lose weight
Get less heavy
To lose weight is to reduce one's body mass, typically through diet, exercise, or illness.
The phrase usually implies intentional effort to become lighter or thinner: She's been trying to lose weight before the wedding.
Weight loss can also be unintentional, signaling illness or stress: He lost a lot of weight after the diagnosis.
