It's true that weight loss can alleviate sleep apnea symptoms, often to the
point that no treatment is needed.  It's also true that people with sleep
apnea find it much more difficult to lose weight than most people, because
we tend to lack the energy to keep active.  The good news is that this does
improve with treatment.  You get more energy, lose a little weight, your
symptoms reduce, and you get more energy still.
