Did we solve your problem today?

Weight training calorie burn depends on intensity and rest between sets.

The math behind it

calories = MET × weight × hours. Moderate lifting ~3.5 MET, vigorous ~6.

70 kg for 45 min at 5 MET → about 263 kcal.

Does muscle burn more later?

Yes — added muscle slightly raises your resting metabolism.
