Anything except just losing weight.

You know who doesn’t have sleep apnea? Skinny people. I mean wafer thin. They only get it from actual constructive nasal obstruction.

Not true. I know very fit, very skinny triathletes who have sleep apnea.

Oh not this nonsense again. Plenty of "wafer thin" people have obstructive sleep apnea. There are lots of factors that contribute to sleep apnea, from big tonsils to hormones to muscle tone to tongue size. Weight is not the issue.
