The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
This is a cryptic definition with a playful misdirection. Docker is the straight definition — a LIGHTERMAN is a dockworker who operates a lighter (a type of flat-bottomed barge). The rest of the clue, "who has lost a lot of weight?", provides the cryptic reading: someone who has lost a lot of weight could be described as a LIGHTER MAN. The question mark signals the whimsical nature of the clue.
