What others are saying. You are not burning anywhere near that many calories in the gym. All trackers are very inaccurate and always grossly over estimate. There are studies on this showing their inaccuracy.
Eat the calories you are supposed to eat under your maintenance and consider working out just extra. Coming from someone who lost ~140 lbs or so

When I use the treadmill, I usually walk at 3.8 or so mph (at a 2ish incline). It states that burns around 400ish calories an hour. If I go to 3.9 it jumps to over 600. It's just not accurate at all. Same with all the wearable readers.
I saw this British scientist that talked about calories and how far off the listed quantities are now. He stated they allowed a 20-30% liency from what's listed (LINK ). So it really depends on what he is eating and if he is calculating the volumes correctly. It's easy to undercount portions..
