You can lose weight doing dips but it is certainly not the most effective method nor a guarantee. This is for two main reasons. Firstly, doing dips will help the development of muscles, mainly the triceps, muscles weigh more than fat so you could just be adding weight. This is dependant on your diet and other exercise you do or don't do!
Secondly, to lose weight, aerobic (cardiovascular) exercise is advised, this is what will 'burn the fat'. Aerobic exercise augments the heart rate and uses your bodies fuel to supply energy, after about 20 minutes of medium intensity aerobic exercise (to be measured by an increased heart rate) your body uses up its readily available stocks of sugar and will start converting fats in to sugars and suppling your muscles with energy. Thus using your fat to keep you going in your exercise and therefor hopefully losing weight. So, to answer the original question, do you lose weight doing dips? The answer is potentially yes, if you can do more than 20 minutes non stop of them!
