I know, because fat is heavy and weighs you down.

Actually, fat is lighter than muscle.

You might want to rethink and rephrase this statement. A pound of fat
weighs the same as a pound of fat. Did you mean to imply that a pound of
fat is larger in volume than a pound of muscle?

Yes, I did. Often people lose inches and then fret because their weight
has not dropped (which is why a tape-measure is often a better friend
than the scales), because they have burnt fat and built muscle, so they
are thinner, but their weight is unchanged, or has even gone up
slightly.
