Ok so だよなー is not an easy one to translate colloquially, but my question is
about 今よりもっと.

How are my translations above, and how is this parsing?

> 今よりもっと
>
> now/more/more

or

> now/even more

Is this the より that means "more," as in the following example?

> よりいい物が見つからないので、今ある物で我慢しよう。 Since we can't find a better one, let's make the
> best of what we have.

Would anyone care to explain fully if my understanding is wrong?

How should I understand 今よりもっと?
I'm pretty sure it just means 'more than is the case at the moment' -
literally 'more than now' (it's the same より that you'd use for any
comparison). So for your first example, the first speaker is saying 'I want to
get thinner than [I am] right now'.

answer
It is often the case that some part, which a speaker thinks of while speaking
is added to the end of a sentence, or even added as a new sentence.

In this case

> 今よりもっと痩せたいです → 痩せたいです今よりもっと

Of course, the first sentence just means

> I want to lose even more weight than now.

and the second sentence is just a rearranged version of the first.
