That last sentence is pretty important. But your numbers check out and that's crazy surprising to me. Most of the cardio exercises I had looked at were nowhere close to that, or I was completely misremembering.

Yeah it actually glows so bright you can see it from the ISS. It stands out from the city lights because of the unique blue-green emission spectrum from the fission products that ended up in the victim's body. ISS Cmdr. Chris Hadfield took thousands of photos during his time up there, and one of my favorites is this image of the distinctive glow.

Yeah pretty much, it might raise your metabolism too depending on the substance. But if you're able to meet your calorie goals then it's not necessary and it's probably not good for you to use drugs like that for weight loss anyway, especially without medical supervision.

Yeah exercise is a lot more important for your mental and physical health than it is for your weight. If you look up calories lost by exercising you quickly realize it's not really going to help you with that. But it might make you a more disciplined, healthy person who is more easily able to enjoy their life and do the things they want, which helps with the mental battle of weight loss.

I think the only other thing besides caloric restriction that's effective is probably stimulant/appetite suppressant use.

That's a really crappy source. Many people in the comments have pointed out various inaccuracies with your data. If you take the time to make the chart, please take time to verify the data is correct.
