In my personal experience, yes it does go down quite a bit. But I also wonder if having a lower than average BMR to begin with predisposes to becoming overweight.
To make matters worse, how much you burn during exercise goes down substantially as well.
But in the end, the only thing I found for myself to work is to always track my weight and what I eat. So I’m always in control basically, no matter if my BMR is average or lower (or higher). And that’s all that counts at the end of the day.

I'll be my life savings that wouldn't be borne out if they put the patient in a metabolic ward and actually measured expenditure.
