Generally yes. With infrequent use it generally stays in the system only up to a week. With chronic use the marijuana sticks to the fat and enough builds up that it can erratically pop up months after use. In your case with more fat, there are several possibilites:
1) dipstick tests mess up sometimes. Confirmatory tests are more sensitive but much more reliable
2) It built up in fat.

There isn't any fast way to get it out of your fat reliably. THere are ways to have the fat break down and release it (bad) which are losing fat. Avoid losing weight for the week prior to the urine testing. (don't gain 10 pounds, but don't do 3 mile runs, no major gym work or the equivalent, no fasting).
