More evidence is great. However, this is already a known clinical phenomenon.

From a 2018 Biochemistry textbook:

>Lipoprotein lipase, particularly in adipose tissue, acts upon chylomicron lipids and may result in a fraction of the vitamin D being taken up by fat cells. This observation suggests a mechanism whereby increased adiposity causes sequestering of vitamin D and is related to lower vitamin D status (IOM, 2011). Indeed, adipose tissue sequestration of vitamin D represents a nonspecific process, and these stores may not be actively used in periods of need (IOM, 2011). Thus obese individuals may require higher intakes of vitaminD to achieve serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) comparable tothose observed among lean individuals (IOM, 2011).
