You will likely need to be in a calorie deficit to lose a large amount of fat. This study was for 30 days and found that bodybuilders whom ate at maintenance didn’t lose any fat, however very long term animal studies have found a great difference in body composition when done over several months.

You can see a slight visual trend in this study indicating that fat loss over a long time period would be lower, thus indicating intermittent fasting as a lifestyle may help individuals become and stay leaner. If you are looking for rapid fat loss however, it’ll need to be combined with a calorie deficit.
