The density of the human body is greater than that of water. This means that when you step into water, the water you displace has a weight equal to your weight. If you weigh more than the weight of the water that you displace, you will sink.

How much would less would you weigh in water Example If you weighed 200 on land how much would you weigh in water?

you would weigh 200 lbs. in water as you would on land. Your body just moved the water out of the way, which explains displacement. Buoyancy is what makes you seem lighter though. Because you weigh more than the water that you displaced and because the the water that you moved has a weight too, your body would be forced up after moving the water out of the way. So it's not that you weigh less in the water if someone picks you up, they just have more help when lifting you.

Does fat weigh more than water?

Yes, fat does weigh more than water when comparing equal volumes. The density of fat is lower than that of water, which means that a given volume of fat will weigh less than the same volume of water. However, if comparing equal weights, fat will be less dense, so a pound of fat will take up more space than a pound of water.
