You made a valid point. Weight loss affects lung air output and breath support (Adele was seen short of breath after each belt and heard gasping before the next belt on SNL). But the tonal quality and range will suffer little UNLESS the abdomen was jabbed/cut into (as in lipo, tummy tucks, C-sections). Such procedures limit a woman's high chest belts (the source of Christina's strain, Mariah's hole between chest voice and whistle, and Céline's new reliance on super head voice!) Notice how Keke Wyatt birthed 9 kids naturally and her voice BLOOMS upwards. Even Tamar Braxton kept access to those overwhelming super high belts by preferring to wait in suffering for her baby to arrive than get cut open and experience vocal downsizing. Conclusion: Adele's belting WILL suffer live if her body type is naturally large, whose padding serves as natural volume amplifiers. But if her larger frame was the byproduct of overeating and a sedentary lifestyle, quitting smoking and regular breath support vocal exercises will REVEAL her true voice. Naysayers kilt.
