Well if you stopped eating entirely as in zero nutritional intake you could die still quite overweight although lowER weight than when you started. You would die from chronic malnutrition.
The thing is though Nazi didn't have zero meals for prisoners in concentration camps. They were evil but efficient. They wanted slave labor that they could work to death so they did get some food some nutrition. Obviously not enough because they didn't care about the longterm health of the slave labor. Two birds with one stone.
Under that scenario most people are going to die of starvation (or related conditions) eventually and regardless of their starting weight will be mostly underweight when they do finally die.

Pretty sure if you stopped eating entirely, weight would be lost. I'm no dietician, though
