No, you can't set the scale in the gym to metrics. I tried, but I was told it's "inappropriate". Blah blah blah. Anyway, both are about 55 kg.
Anyway, from my group, I was the only one who didn't gain weight, let alone lose it.
FYI, I think your weight is perfect.
Meanwhile, the back is better. Somedays. Unless I move. Or exist. I've been attempting to remotely follow a meal plan with ...some success. I've maintaining weight while I'm not working out-which i'll take. As long as I'm not gaining weight.
To be fair, I didn't even want to lose weight. I was trying to gain some muscle definition.
Since I visibly got more muscle now, though, I'd say it still worked anyway.

You burn calories by moving your body! If you lean, not only half your body isn't moving, you don't even burn calories to keep it upright!!
You answered your own question. How many people do you think are in the gym not for their own health but because they need to be seen working out? In high school, I got to do an independent study instead of gym, so I did a lot of leaning on treadmills/stairmasters while doing the bare minimum and reading a book.
Well, you were being forced to exercise, so whatever, makes sense to do the minimum you can get away with.
However, I see people paying for a membership, waking up before 6 am, and taking the time, then go and lean on the machines.
You don't need to work that hard just for a facebook selfie!
Then they see they burned 200 calories, and reward themselves with a venti frappuccino with extra cream. In reality they burned a fraction of it.
