Kim Jong Un looked slimmer than ever with his suit hanging loosely on him as he spoke at a defence exhibition on Monday.
The North Korean leader, 37, appeared noticeably trim in new photos released by state media as he walked on a red carpet lined with big missiles mounted on trucks in front of portraits of himself when he was heavier.
He wore a dark suit with wide trouser legs and jacket, which seemed to hang off him, where months ago the fabric would have been pulled tight around his belly.
During the defence exhibition, Kim showed off North Korea's latest weaponry including the Hwasong-8 hypersonic missile it allegedly tested last month which allegedly has nuclear capabilities.
Also on display were an intercontinental ballistic missiles and a new long-range cruise missile, and US intelligence agencies said they are already analysing the equipment.
Kim's weight loss is a remarkable contrast to a year ago when reports surfaced that he had ballooned to 22stone (308lbs) - having gained nearly 110lbs in eight years.
Earlier this year North Korea banned citizens from discussing Kim's weight loss and told people that gossip is a 'reactionary act'. Government authorities insisted the despot was eating less 'for the sake of the country' as it grappled with severe food shortages and claimed Kim was healthy.
Speculation about Kim's health started after photos showed him looking increasingly thin after he apparently shed up to 44 pounds earlier this year.
The latest pictures of his weight-loss transformation come a day after he urged his officials to overcome the 'grim' food situation facing North Korea in a speech to mark the ruling party's founding on Sunday.
