Does walking actually help?

Walking is huge lately, with 10K steps/day becoming a trend and everything. And I mean I get it, it's very healthy and I am all for people getting daily exercise they actually enjoy!

But with that being said, I am not convinced it really does as much for weight loss as people claim? Unless someone walks for hours every single day, the calories being burned seem pretty small. Like one hour of walking with a comfortable speed is estimated to be around 200 kcal? Definitely better than nothing, but not life-changing like many people claim. Like it won't make you drop 20 lbs in a month. But I am fully open to having my mind changed!

edit: to clarify ik 20 lbs a month is surreal, I was just referencing those people who make content like "I started walking 10K/day and lost sooo much weight!"
