I mean, I get that having a fast metabolism means that you get fat harder and vice versa, but what does it exactly mean? And what are the upsides and downsides of each?

Not an expert, but ill give my two cents about it.
Recently started calorie counting, to try and lose weight, and i was amazed how much i fucked up on my cheat day( im eating healthy 6 days of the week, and one day and going all out on eating and drinking).
Started my died late March and manage to go from 98kg to 90kg so far, altough i only started calorie counting in June.
Diet and exercise work wonders.
This month, i went to a nutricionist and did some exams. She told me all my stats look good, apart from visceral fat (the fat located around your abdomen) and my metabolism.
She told me that despite me having a good percentage of muscle mass, my metabolism is slow due to the percentage of visceral fat, and it should increase as soon as i lose a bit more fat.
She also told me people with faster metabolism tend to burn more calories even when resting and also having a good percentage of muscle mass increases your calorie burn. Its kinda interesting, because despite not dieting in any way for the past couple of years, my body weight never went above 99kg, despite eating and drinking like a fucking elephant all the time. My work is kinda physically demanding (i work at the warehouse of a home depot, so im lifting heavy stuff all the time and walking a lot).
