I understand your point but remember that the reason he became the weight he is came from unhealthy binge eating. It would have been a different story if he just had low metabolism and was always chubby. He originally was a skinny dude and became chubby by unhealthy ways. It might do him better to get back to his original weight, for his mental health as well. So he can face his insecurities without putting the blame on something like his weight.
so yeah the uke will get skinny...... so disappointing but not surprising ( ̄へ ̄)
