Fat free body mass

I know what it is.
My question is, does this change at all with weight loss?
My FFBM is 109 lbs. I am now 170. If I lose 40 lbs, could this number be lower? For example could it be 105?
I know it would not change too much.

Yes, because when you lose weight you inevitably lose muscle too.

This is not true if you continue weight training while losing weight.

If you lose weight the right way (slowly, no crash dieting, while exercising and eating healthily), you won't necessarily lose muscle. I lost 20 lbs in 20 weeks and was still able to lift the same (fairly heavy) weight or more after the weight loss, which a trainer told me meant that my weight loss was not muscle.
