contents In this paper, we investigate the minimum number of triangles, denoted by $t(n,k)$, in $n$-vertex $k$-regular graphs, where $n$ is an odd integer and $k$ is an even integer. The well-known Andrásfai-Erdős-Sós Theorem has established that $t(n,k)>0$ if $k>\frac{2n}{5}$. In a striking work, Lo has provided the exact value of $t(n,k)$ for sufficiently large $n$, given that $\frac{2n}{5}+\frac{12\sqrt{n}}{5}<k<\frac{n}{2}$. Here, we bridge the gap between the aforementioned results by determining the precise value of $t(n,k)$ in the entire range $\frac{2n}{5}<k<\frac{n}{2}$. This confirms a conjecture of Cambie, de Joannis de Verclos, and Kang for sufficiently large $n$.
