If i lose weight while transitioning, will it help me disguise my breasts?

Things are currently a bit awkward between my wife and me because after a lifetime of wanting to resolve the unhappiness i have as a result of having a male body, which she's known about since the start of our relationship, i am finally taking hormones, and of course one of the results of that, which i personally find very positive, is that i am slowly developing breasts. However, my wife finds this prospect disturbing. If i simultaneously try losing weight while they grow, is it likely to make them less obvious to her? I understand her difficulty with the prospect and was wondering if this would help. In an ideal world i would just let them grow, but it doesn't look like a viable option i'm afraid.

    "If i simultaneously try losing weight while they grow"

    The breast will get lower volume as breast are largely fat, but the breast tissue will still develop and you will still have breast, hrt affect the whole body, not some here and there. Your choices as I see them are to continue hrt, try losing weight, or let them develop and have a mastectomy.

    Personally I think you have deeper relationship issues where choices are going to be made by you or her.
