Body weights ≈ 132 / 165 / 198 lb. Based on MET 4.3.

How it's calculated

We use the standard formula calories = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200 × minutes. A MET is a multiple of your resting energy use; brisk walking is about 4.3 METs at a typical effort. Harder effort and more body weight mean more calories.

These are estimates. Real burn varies with fitness, intensity, terrain and individual metabolism.
