Yes, the mass of the sun is decreasing because of the continuous nuclear fusion processes that are responsible of the solar energy that reaches us as heat and light. However, this decrease is very much negligible that it could not be noticed any decrease in sun size.

Each one second, about 616 million tonnes of hydrogen changes to about 612 million tonnes of helium and the mass difference is demonstrated as energy.
