TL;DR

A meta-analysis of 18 randomized trials including about 4,000 adults found that increasing daily steps to roughly 8,500 during a weight‑loss program and maintaining that level helped reduce weight regain. Participants lost an average 4.4% (about 4 kg) during dieting and kept about 3.3% (roughly 3 kg) off long term; higher step counts linked to less regain, though walking more did not boost initial weight loss.
