Is there really a difference? I guess you could make a case that dieting is a temporary restriction of what you intake, while fixing you're diet is permanent, but in reality, they both mean the same thing; changing what you eat by restricting something (calories, carbs, fats, certain types of food, ect) with the intent of achieving some sort of result (better health, weight loss, gaining muscle mass, ect).
I would say there's a fair difference. "Fixing your diet" I understand to mean rectifying pathological habits (e.g. junk food, fast food, excessive portion size, etc.), while "dieting" is subscribing to a certain specifically prescribed methodology for achieving weight loss. If we accept there is some range of "normal/healthy" eating, fixing one's diet would be bringing one down from above that threshold into that zone, while dieting would be adopting an even more restrictive diet to achieve a change.
