prediction is the result of reasoning

No it's not.

Prediction is the ability to predict something.

Reasoning is the ability to reason.

That's a circular definition. Can you define "reason" or "reasoning" without using the other term?

I think your definition of "reasoning" may be "think like a human" - in which case obviously LLMs can't reason because they aren't human.
