Most of the time, exercise and diet if done appropriately will take care the extra body fat. However, if you mean the high fat in your blood, hyperlipidemia, triglycerides and/or cholesterol, sometimes diet and exercise may not be effective enough if you have certain genetic disease in which body produces a lot of cholesterol and or triglycerides and you have to take medication(s) for that.
