I know you can’t spot reduce, but if you walk a 3mph speed isn’t that just working on legs somehow?

You don’t necessarily loose fat in an area by working muscles in that area.
You loose fat by having a calorie deficit – more calories being burned than absorbed – so your body is forced to burn fat reserves for energy.
Walking takes energy, so it increases your calorie deficit.
That being said, it’s possible the increased calorie burn is minimal and has almost no impact. Or the weight loss is due to some psychology that encourages you to eat less because you’ve been investing time in burning fat. Or it just doesn’t work at all. Weight loss science is… Complicated.
