DHT can't bind with muscle. An enyme in muscle deactivate it fast.

Testosterone preserves muscle. So if you are burning calories, those calories are likely to come from fat, and not muscle loss.

So no, Test does not help weight loss. But it does help body composition improvement (fat loss). The boost and improvement you get from exercise is way stronger than what you get from finasteride though.

Well that is true to a certain extent, but remember that one's body fat percentage is a reflection of the estrogen levels in your body. High BF% = high estrogen levels. DHT is an estrogen antagonist, meaning it counteracts the affects of estrogen, that why DHT in itself can also play a significant role in lowering estrogen levels and thus alsp promoting fat loss.
