If the calories burned are greater than those I can consume to maintain my body weight (currently about 3000kcal/day) then yes it will make me lose weight.
Also yes it is cardio, or it wouldn't be good exercise. It's not HIIT or running, but it consumes energy and calories.
Do you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of calories in versus calories out? If my body needs more calories than I'm eating it will harvest muscle to do so. I've been lifting weights for over a decade and diet is just as big of a factor in gaining muscle versus lifting itself, this isn't something new to me.
Cardio is a shorthand for cardiovascular, if you do normal paced walking it doesn't challenge your cardiovascular system therefore it's not cardio.
you said lose muscle, which it doesn't do, in your scenario you are losing muscle because of insufficient calorie intake, not because of "doing cardio", there is no extra effect from walking that would have you lose muscle other than burning some calories, which is what "losing muscle" means
you can just eat a handful of almonds and you will replenish all that you walked away.
