I would like to know the use of その結果 "as a result" Is it formal ? Use in
written language ? Could it be replaced with some other expressions like "それで”
?

> 三ヶ月ダイエットを続けた。 **その結果** 、５キロやせた。 I continued my diet for three months. As a
> result, I lost 5 kilos.
>
> 父は、人の何倍も努力した。 **その結果** 、仕事で成功した。 My father worked so much harder than anyone
> else. As a result, he has succeeded in his career.

Use of その 結果 as "as a result'
その結果 is a commonly used expression and you can use in written/spoken language
in any situations. It can be replaced with "それで", but it simply means "and" or
"then" in English. In this case, I think "おかげで"(thanks to) is concise and
suitable for these sentences like below.

・三ヶ月ダイエットを続けたおかげで、５キロやせた。

・父は人の何倍も努力したおかげで、仕事で成功した。

In negative consequences, "せいで" should be used instead of "おかげで". Here is an
example:

・ダイエットをやめたせいで、５キロ太った。
