Third time lucky
SWOLE
Wordplay is
LOSE + W (abbrev. of weight) the anagrind is dramatically becoming definition muscular.
A second more robust try:
STOUT - muscular
With word play
st as abbreviation for stone(s) as in pounds (lb) and ounces (oz)
st + out : means stone(s) out (of you) which is to lose weight dramatically.
First try: Running with this:
TONED - having firm and well-defined muscles.
If this wordplay is fit:
de-ton: anagram (clued by dramatically), where de - means lose and ton is a weight.
Recover the endless well-being (6)

1$\begingroup$ That would be an indirect anagram, so, no. I won't write the answer to your clue in a comment, so I will drink it instead ;) $\endgroup$ – Rupert Morrish Aug 20 '18 at 8:26
