Edit the reference into the middle stage of the same fictional man's weight transformation. Preserve his exact recognizable identity, facial structure, age, skin tone, hairstyle, eyebrows, eyes, nose, clean-shaven appearance, neutral expression, gaze, height, front-facing upright pose, arm and foot positions, eye-level locked camera, centered full-body framing, light-gray seamless studio background and soft even lighting. Make the same man clearly and substantially slimmer, approximately 125 kg, while still visibly overweight: reduce the rounded abdomen, waist, chest, neck, cheeks, upper arms, forearms, hips, thighs and calves in a natural proportional way. The difference from the reference must be obvious, but this is only the middle stage, not the final slim body. Keep the exact same charcoal-gray T-shirt, black athletic pants and plain white sneakers, naturally fitting the smaller body without changing their color or design. Entire figure visible from head to shoes. Photorealistic realistic anatomy. No text, no numbers, no props, no other people, no crop, no side view, no change of identity, clothing, pose, camera, lighting or background. Vertical 2:3.
