slimming down
Shedding excess pounds
Slimming down is losing weight or reducing bulk, whether applied to bodies, budgets, or organizations: She's been slimming down for the wedding, The company is slimming down its workforce.
The phrase implies gradual reduction rather than drastic cutting, with an eye toward becoming leaner and more efficient.
