Will losing pounds as a 20 year old male attract women?

I'm 20 years old I'm 5'9 and weigh 240 pounds I started going to the gym early this year. I don't have no friends or never hung out with a woman. I talk to some females online here and there but I don't get attraction like my dms dry I get on dating apps and don't get no likes even tho I be having my best pictures so will losing pounds and fasting give me a good look? I have a good personality but I feel my looks isn't there
