Can there be any other ways to lose your body fat other than surgery or diets and exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Weight loss is achieved by increasing energy expenditure and decreasing energy intake, or a negative caloric balance. The combination of diet, exercise and/or restrictive surgery procedures all achieve this negative caloric balance. If you can't achieve the negative balance, the surgeries are great.
