So yeah, as the title says. If you fart do you become lighter because you loose mass or does the loss of buoyancy make you heavier ?

Objection! ;-)
This comparison is not relevant, unless you take in as much air immediately as you have just pressed out.
Would you now please show us how you do that?
If it’s lighter than air, it’s lifting you while it’s inside of you…
If it’s not there, it’s not lifting you, and you’re heavier.
Think of a balloon that is so old it doesn’t rise anymore. It just stays neutrally bouyant. In this case it’s even less than that. It is a completely and totally negligible amount of difference. But while holding a fart you’re technically a very shitty balloon.
But you don’t know at what immmmense pressure I can hold my farts!
There is a limit beyond which it will all have dissolved into your blood stream.
Higher pressure decreases the relative volume of the gas, increasing its density and reducing its buoyancy. What you need is extra voluminous farts in an otherwise nearly empty, low pressure digestive tract.
