Yep, fasting can certainly ameliorate obesity, however there is more to it than that.
INB4: It's genetic REEEE!
No it isn't
Obesity is a hormonal reaction to high blood sugar. One's insulin kicks in. This is an ancient survival mechanism, that stores the sugars from harvests in the form of fat, to be used later. Problem is: we live in times of perpetual harvest, with no lean periods to use up that fancy layer of fat, designed by nature. So, it is a natural reaction to unnatural circumstances.
Bottom line, insulin kicks in when there is high blood sugar. To reduce the waistline, one must reduce the number of instances insulin is spiked. This can be done by NOT snacking. (unlike what we were told all these years - i.e. keep your energy up, by eating SMOL meals 6 times a day - note that this '80s advice can be correlated with an uptick in obesity).
Best way - is to not eat at all. Next best is maybe eating once every 48 hours, or 24 hours. It depends, on how fat one is. Also, eat protein and fat - not carbs.
I get it. You're TL;DR is obesity is caused by eating, LOL. You cannot create matter from that which doesn't exist. But yes, you're version expounds upon my statement and I don't disagree.
