Eating does not have an instant impact on weight loss. Over time, eating fewer calories than your body needs will result in weight loss. The human body fluctuates a lot. You could weigh .5 lbs less today, you could weigh 2 lbs more. What's important is your weight over time. There are way too many factors, like sodium levels, water retention, time of your last meal, etc.

If you're typical for your height and weight, and otherwise sedentary, your maintenance calories would be around 1700. So if you eat that, and burn 400 calories, you're drawing those 400 or so calories from stored fat. That won't necessarily show up as losing weight, though, because the 1.8 ounces of fat required to produce 400 calories is dwarfed by the several pounds of food, water, and air that you take in and excrete every day; in the long run, they balance out, but in the short run there are fluctuations.
