Kateful, I think you are confusing subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) with internal fat, which surrounds the organs, muscles, etc. When you shrink internal fat cells around your organs, then your body has to fill the gap somehow. When you lose internal fat everything has to shrink inwards to accommodate the loss. To visual the difference, picture a man with a large "beer belly"... the hard kind not the flabby kind. Big hard stomaches are due to internal fat surrounding the organs along with a layer of subcutaneous fat (the kind you can pinch). Internal fat around your organs... like your heart... poses extremely high health risks.
