I adore corsets in all of their forms.
But for weight loss...I would not recomment them. The only thing that will cause you to loose weight is a lessened amount of food intake combined with more movement. The corest will only 'reshape' your body, not cause it to loose weight.
Besides, think about this: if you use a corset nicely and actually get your waist slimmer, you will still look funny with a nice waist but, uhem, arms that are not in proportion.
While you are on a sensible diet, try wearing the precurser for the corset, the stay. It covers much more of the body and has a heck of a lot more boning. But unfortunately, you will probably have to make one yourself, as I don't seen them sold too often. Maybe try 16-17th century re-enactors shops.
In any case, good luck!
