Is Nimbu Pani good for weight loss?

Yes — a good choice

Nimbu Pani carries roughly 21 kcal per 100 g, which is low for an everyday Indian food. You can fit reasonable portions into a fat-loss diet without much trouble, as long as the rest of your day stays within your calorie target.

Is Nimbu Pani good for muscle gain?

Mainly an energy food

Nimbu Pani provides about 0 g of protein per 100 g, which counts as low for Indian foods. That works out to roughly 0 g of protein per 100 kcal, so it is not an efficient way to hit a protein target. Pair it with a dedicated protein source — dal, curd, paneer, eggs, soya or chicken — rather than relying on it for muscle growth.
