Daily exercise counts a lot too. Get a heart rate monitor and get into zone 2 for 150 minutes a week, it’s hard to describe how much of a difference it makes through your entire body.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but physical activity acts as a mild appetite suppressant for me. So it reduces calories in while increasing calories out, with the former being more significant for weight loss.
Daily exercise only counts if it’s cardio and not muscle building. Otherwise the fat gets converted to muscle, which weighs more than fat.
Of course, weight loss shouldn’t ever be considered the end goal, and building muscle and having your weight go up/stay the same is perfectly fine to become healthier.
So yes, muscle building aka hypertrophy via lifting weights will absolutely make you lose weight. In fact the heavier you lift the more fat your body will use in order to do work. Which will make you lose weight even faster.

Working out has a lot of positive health benefits but it plays just a tiny role in weight loss. It’s virtually all about diet.
Yep. You can’t outrun your fork.

This is so wrong it hurts. Your body cannot synthesize muscle from fat.
That’s entirely wrong because there’s no way you can gain muscle mass as fast as you can lose fat.
A person can easily lose a pound of fat a weak and will have a difficult time, unless on PEDs, to gain a pound of muscle mass in the same time.
