Yes, but almost all of the weight you are losing is water as you get dehydrated. Once you leave the sauna and have a drink of water, the weight will be back.
You also lose weight as the sauna causes your body to sweat which requires energy and therefore increases caloric expenditure. In a 30-40min session you can burn up to 500-1000 calories

∙ 15y agoYes, a U.S. Army research shows infrared sauna use can burn as many as 300 to 600 calories during one sauna session. This happens due to the sweating process itself, as well as increased heart rate.

∙ 14y agoSaunas make a person lose water weight because water is sweated out, but fat loss does not occur from sitting in a sauna. The weight loss is only temporary and it is not very healthy to lose so much water weight at one time. The only way to lose fat (body weight) is to burn more calories than are consumed. The environment of the sauna may cause the heart to beat a little faster, which results in more calories burned, but this amount is minuscule.

Your body temperature and heart rate increase when you sit in a sauna. Your body needs to work harder, as a result, to produce sweat and keep you cool. In turn, these actions result in calorie burning.
