once you traverse that muscle/fat ratio you can burn more calories and find it easier to maintain

How so and much

Each pound of muscle burns 20 calories since its an active tissue so yea

Yeah. More testosterone, less insulin, better metabolism, and less myostatin. Lifting and working out also kills fat cells even on a surplus

Ignore the dyels and copers who say "you only need to count calories to lose weight", not all calories are the same and it's 100x more efficient to workout on a diet that's adequate in protein than eating 1,800 calories of whatever you want

not unless you're on a caloric deficit. It should even out because your hormones get balanced.
