Creatine helps you be able to lift more weights by holding more water in your muscles(simplified) also having the side effect of your muscles appearing larger. This also means you can burn more calories by lifting more, but by lifting more you will be gaining muscle mass and not necessarily getting skinny, the key to getting skinny is calorie deficit. You can burn more calories by doing medium to intense cardio than you would by lifting weights (generally) (also sorry for the essay)
