Pancreatic fats

Some ways to reduce pancreatic fat:

Exercise
Reducing fat intake (not to sure I give that much credence)
Bariatric surgery
Give up or cut down alcohol
Stop smoking if you are a smoker
Lose weight

And according to Professor Roy Taylor in order to reverse T2 you need to lose 1 gram of fat from the pancreas to do this he recommends or did recommend calorific restriction by dietary means, Bariatric surgery would reduce calories eaten also but may be a little drastic for most people.

New study report released in USA recently and posted elsewhere in the Forum shows that a Very Low Carb Diet also removes liver and pancreatic fat, They used MRI scanners to prove empirically in humans that the fat did reduce significantly. So both variants of VLCD (carb AND calorie) seem to emulate the bariatric surgery option.
 
I don’t think one can target where to lose fat from, I think it’s last in , first out. Eat healthy and exercise

This is a bit of a myth. Fat that is made from glucose - lipogenesis - generally tends to be deposited around the organs because it's made in the liver. Dietary fat is more likely to end up subcutaneous. Obviously there's overlap and it's very complicated but as a rule of thumb, belly fat can be thought of as coming from too much dietary carbohydrate. Probably more specifically fructose. Restricting glucose/fructose in the diet rather than calories is more likely to target belly/organ fat.
