Do you even lift, bro?
One of the most alarming things for me when this game first came out was how quickly all of my played Sims got rather ... large. I mean, no matter what they did all of my sims gained a lot of weight...

It depends on the sim.
- Active/Athlete/Detective/Military/Yoga Instructor sims use the gym or have home gyms/yoga mats/combat bots etc.
- Adventurous sims might lose it just by training on the climbing treadmill for that Mt. K climb.
- Outdoorsy/Green Fiend/Conservationist/Dog Lover sims might lose weight from their regular activities like swimming in the sea, cycling everywhere, jogging with the dog etc.
- Foodie/Glutton/Chef/Food Critic/Lazy sims (or basically any sim that wants to lose weight without exercise) might eat themselves thinner with Taste of Diet ice cream. I put it on the menu at one restaurant each save, minimum.
- Most sims don't try to lose weight. I would likely only force this for something like weddings or beach vacations etc. where there will be photos (humans diet IRL for these kind of things), or if the sim is also Vain/Self-Absorbed or if there's a story element to it, like a revenge seduction of an ex-BFFs new fiancé etc.
