How do weight loss plateaus work? If I’m walking 10km every day theoretically, would my body eventually get used to it and I’d gain weight back if I stopped?

Just a dramatic example, but I’m confused how weight loss works.

Let’s say I start walking an extra 10km a day and eat as usual - my calories out would be greater than my calories in (assuming I’m balanced before), so I would lose weight.

What happens when your body gets used to the amount you’re walking (and how does it do that)? Do I start needing less energy to accomplish the walk, so eventually my calories out balances back out to my calories in? Then, if I were to stop walking the 10km, would I gain all the weight back? Because my calories out would decrease again... just confused on how this work. Is it not possible to lose weight and then exercise less frequently but keep it off?
