To resize (or add/delete) an existing partition without losing data, you will need to use, for example, iPartition:

But before you do anything it is important that you first back up all the partitions on a separate volume, in case of data loss.

Aug 29, 2016 3:06 PM in response to mustafa m.by K Shaffer,Be aware of limitations that may go along with partitioning schemes or methods.
This, from iPartition:
Please note: iPartition does not support Core Storage (Fusion Drive and File Vault 2 both use this volume format).
You will also need a separate boot device — typically a Flash drive will suffice.
The iPartition software continues to show they are actively working to support OS X
and still support several older versions, as indicated below download link, or where
the say "For older releases, please see here. " Years ago, I tried free demo for 10.5.8.
There are several rules for dealing with File Vault 2 so be sure your backups reflect that
just in case, should you have any of those in your system.
Good luck in any event!
