Only if your snoring is caused by a deviated septum or other nasal cause.

Sleep apnea and heavy snoring more commonly is due to the tongue and jaw slacking during sleep, causing the tongue to kind of slide into the throat and obstruct your airway.

This is even worse for overweight and obese people with visceral fat making their airways physically smaller too. Then it becomes a self-reinforcing cycle as bad sleep quality and low oxygen during sleep has a host of side effects, including making weight loss and digestion a bit more difficult.
