For me it worked because I stopped snacking at night and eating random breakfast calories. The schedule made the deficit easier.
Did intermittent fasting actually help your health, or did it just make you eat less without noticing?

I tried skipping breakfast and eating later. It helped at first, but I am not sure if fasting itself mattered or if I simply ate fewer calories.

When I tracked calories, fasting was not magic. If I ate the same amount later in the day, nothing special happened.
It backfired for me. I skipped breakfast, got too hungry, then ate huge meals later and pretended it was healthy.
The biggest benefit was structure. I did not think about food all day because I had clear eating windows.
