Nope, studies a have been done, very long term studies with huge numbers of people. When diet and exercise are maintained, this still happens. Done with very careful non starvation diets.

You don't keep losing weight if you sustain a calorie deficit, your metabolism adjusts to match what you take in, among other factors. That is why 95% of people who restrict calories or increase exercise to lose weight regain within 3-5 yrs even when they keep it up, in reality 2/3 of dieters end up at a heavier weight than they started after 3-5 yrs.

Not just your bmr goes down, hunger hormones increase as well.
Look at the research you will see that all the studies here a large amount of people can keep off the weight are just one yr long. When you get to a 3-5 yr study, the numbers for people who can maintain the loss are 5-20 percent. And if you have obesity when you try to lose weight the odds go way down, because obesity changes your hormones even further.
