Why does my lipoma shrink with starvation?

Probably not: Many times with weight loss lipomas become more prominent.

Usually: In my experience lipomas tend to be independent of weight loss most of the time since they are like isolated islands of fatty tissue, but I have seen people with prominent fatty deposits that are felt to be lipomas on exam, that get smaller with weight loss.
