It’s all calorie in calorie out, and once acclimated to a new routine most people within normal activity levels settle in burning around 2000kcal a day, that’s sedentary and active people. Metabolism has way less impact than most people think and outside of heavy labor or semipro athlete you’re probably settling in around that 2000kcal maintenance level. Unless you were doing strenuous labor or working out daily your maintenance level probably didn’t change that much.

It absolutely is not all calorie in calorie out. There’s a massive amount of literature on this.
Here’s a starting point: www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/…/fulltext

Yes but unless you’re a statistical outlier that still won’t make a significant difference to counting calories. When it comes to gaining or losing weight yes it is purely calorie in calorie out. The difference in caloric maintenance between an active lifestyle and a sedentary one is 4 to 6 hundred kcal. That’s a bowl of cereal. Your metabolism has little overall impact.

Metabolic health has a tremendous impact on how we process calories, and I don’t really find it useful to discuss this further. There’s a tremendous body of evidence to support this, that you can do whatever you want with.

Yes, and you’re still overestimating its impact on weight gain vs caloric intake. Your metabolism isn’t special.
