My question is more about the **事実としてそう** at the start of the sentence and to
what it is referring to. Based on the above conversation it seems that it's
pointing to how he thinks that if your body is cold it generates heat, but she
responds with そんなこと言われても which is sometimes said when むちゃくちゃなこと言われた. So, in
this case is it like "Well, she's the one who is a 雪女 and if she's telling me
that's not the case, then who am I to argue?".

edit: The thing is, if this was what it was referring to I would expect it to
be そうではない etc. So anyone care to clarify what is being spoken about?

answer
In this case, 事実としてそう、と言われたら納得せざるを得ない 'there is no way to argue the case when
the fact has been told' is like a prelude to refer the following sentence. So,
まぁ経緯はどうあれ優が寒がりなのは事実なわけだし 'it is true that 優 easily feels/gets cold no matter
the background is', is indicating the answer to your question.
