Does masturbation help with weight loss scientific evidence?

I'm on a weight loss journey and hear many different theories. Does masturbation help with weight loss, and is there actual scientific evidence to support this claim? I want to make sure I'm following factual information.

There is absolutely no scientific evidence supporting this. I once ignored proper medical advice for metabolic issues and suffered a lot, so please don't rely on myths. Go see a qualified doctor to understand how to lose weight safely.

I recently lost 12 kgs after correcting my metabolic health. I can assure you, scientific studies show masturbation only burns a tiny handful of calories, same as sitting down. Real weight loss only comes from a proper caloric deficit.

Don't waste time on these myths. If you want to lose weight practically, spend your money on a basic lipid profile and thyroid test which costs around Rs. 800. Plan your diet based on those reports for real results.

No scientific basis exists for this. If you are experiencing sudden, unexplained weight loss, it could be a sign of fluctuating blood sugar levels. Please consult a doctor and get your HbA1c tested.

Beta, don't believe these modern internet rumors. To lose weight, simple traditional things like drinking warm ajwain water and eating light dinners work wonders. This other thing has no effect on weight.
