Do you keep telling them they’re not fat? Do you decide to just support them as they try to lose weight?
What’s your opinion on this?

Depends on how debilitating it is, if its bad enough, therapy might be a useful option.
Body dysmorphia about weight might need a bit more help than you can give as an individual.
It might not meet the criteria for that, but worth consideration.
Edit: to clarify, dysmorphia like this is where the brain refuses to acknowledge the relatively objective reality of a “normal” weight.
It’s often one of the underlying causes of bulimia/anorexia and the converse.
