How can fiber carry out the bulk of fat from the belly fat location?

It doesn't: Fiber with adequate hydration can help to clear your GI tract but it will not remove abdominal adipose tissue.

It can't: Hi. Your question isn't exactly clear. However, under normal physiological conditions, essentially NO fat is lost in the stool. Fiber has no influence on that. Dietary fat is 100% absorbed unless there are problems with pancreatic enzymes, bile, GI anatomy (various surgeries), etc. So, fiber CANNOT "carry out the bulk of fat from the belly fat location" (whatever that even means).
