Swimming for 30 min straight burns off 1 small order of french fries worth of calories from McD's, lol. Healthy, low calorie diet = weight loos.

Obviously exercise has many health benefits (heart health, looking good, sleeping well, lower stress etc etc)
Actually muscle mass is good for weight control as it consumes significantly. Your overall energy need grows. But it of course means that you have to get muscle mass, not just to go for gym, as the idea is in the "passive" consumption, not from the exercise itself.
