Your fat cells shrink.

So that's disposed of how? Bathroom uses?

Your body burns the fat that's in the cells and the cells shrink, once you have made fat cells they don't go anywhere but they can shrink as you use the contents for energy.

But the breakdown products get expelled when you exhale or removed via the potty.
