slim down
Shed some pounds
Slim down means to lose weight or become thinner: I've been trying to slim down before the wedding.
It extends to reducing size or scope more generally—a company slims down by cutting staff or operations, a document slims down when edited for length.
The phrase emphasizes gradual reduction rather than dramatic cuts.
