One key note from the study is that they were looking at overweight and obsese people, not healthy people:

> Therefore, our aim was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to investigate the possible dose-response association of aerobic exercise of varying intensity with measures of body weight, waist size, and fat in adults with overweight or obesity.

Overweight and obese people (70% of US population) are typically the ones trying to lose weight.

And the obese or overweight people who make 150+ minutes of aerobics, maybe also change some other things also, like change diet.
