Bazooka gum loses mass because of the sugar loss. As you chew on the gum you are eating the sugar inside the gum. What you are chewing on is a gum base. Once the sugar is gone all that is left is the gum base, which has no flavor.

-- Dissolving and ingestion of the sugar.

-- Bits of deflated bubbles stuck to the face and moustache.

-- Accidental ingestion of fragments.

-- Forceful extraction by nearby victims who have had it up to here with the chewer/popper.

Chewing has little effect on the mass of the gum in your mouth. Some moisture is absorbed, but it appears to be smaller because it has been compressed by chewing.

Can gum help you lose weight?

When you first start out on a starvation diet you may lose up to 2 pounds a day. But then the 3rd and 4th days you may only lose 1 pound.

Does matter lose mass when it changes space?

If by space you are referring to volume, then NO. Matter doesn't lose a considerable amount of mass when it changes volume. See: Law of Conservation of Mass. However, if the volume increases and the mass does not the density of the object decreases. Summary: No. It doesn't lose mass. But it does lose density.
