If anyone can shed light on this, I'd highly appreciate it.
I am the type that hardly ever breaks a sweat. No matter how hard I go in the gym, I sweat very little. My friends all tell me that I do not burn fat that well as a result. Is this true? I honestly cannot help it. I can bust my ass to the point where I want to pass out(which is how I used to train in speed training when I played D-1 ball) and I would still hardly break a sweat.
Even when I was on DNP last year(please do not judge). I only sweated while working out. However outside the gym I did not break a drop of sweat, and all the logs I've read says that most people will drench their couch by simply just sitting there and watching TV. I however did not sweat once outside the gym and was running 600mg per day for 21 days.
So right now I just got out of the gym. I did an experiment to see how long I had to do cardio on the tredmill to break a sweat. I did not want to burn muscle so I did not put it on a intense setting. I simply put it on 12 inch incline at 3.5mph. Here is a pic of my results:

So it took me 1 hour and 5 minutes, and 500 calories later to sweat. And I did not even really sweat that much....just a damp forehead. And before you guys think I have some super human endurance, I was dying at the 45 min mark trying to catch my breath and all. My friend tried to do this with me, and 30 min into the cardio workout he looked like he came out of the Sauna.
I drink plenty of water and eat good. But simply put: Do I not burn as much fat as others because I hardly sweat?
