The more interesting question I think is not whether skipping breakfast might help lose weight, it is whether the weight loss is due to lower overall caloric intake
It is overall caloric intake. This link [1] has 20 studies cited that support this hypothesis. At the same time, I'm not aware of any clinically controlled studies that contradict this hypothesis.
The doubt always comes from the studies where caloric intake is assessed by questionnaires and self reporting, which in turn was shown to be very inaccurate, i.e. [2].
