Mysqli fetch_object is giving me hassles - php

Question

All this section is supposed to do is collect an int from active and use it in the if statement to continue with the code. Can somebody please tell me why this is not working?
$act_qry = "Select active FROM user_m WHERE username = '$username' and password = '$Menrypted_password'";
$result_act = mysqli_query ( $connMS, $act_qry );
$value_act = mysqli_fetch_object($result_act);
if($value_act == 1)
{
//Do php stuff.
}

I am having this table in my database:-http://prntscr.com/9tnalx
Check this code:-
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
//connect to database
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','stack');
$act_qry = "Select product_id FROM bom WHERE bom_description = 'Table Tops'";
$result_act = mysqli_query ( $link, $act_qry ) or die(mysqli_error($link));
$value_act = mysqli_fetch_object($result_act);
if($value_act->product_id == 1)
{
echo $value_act->product_id;
}
// or you can do this
$value_act = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result_act);
if($value_act['product_id'] == 1)
{
echo $value_act->product_id;
}
mysqli_close($link);
?>
Output on my browser:- http://prntscr.com/9tnazj
Note:- I hope you can understand the code by checking my screenshot of table.Thanks
