Question:
Is it possible to explain the Twin Experiment from the moving point of view
?
IMO this is not possible.
When the two Observers meet they realize that there clocks are not the same.
To be more specific: The clock of the moving observer runs behind.
The clock of the moving observer runs slow.
To explain the Observer at rest will say:
Look on my clock I read 10000 counts.
Based on the speed v (Lorentz Transformation) gamma is 0.5
That means your clock should read 5000 counts.
Which is what we measure. qed.
The question is: Is it possible to explain this also from the
point of view of moving observer ?
IMO this it not possible.
The moving Observer has to accept what the Observer at rest tells him.

At that url there is also a sketch which explains this from the
moving point of view.
But that sketch is wrong so it seems.
The url shows that before the point of return
both observers will observe the same.
The "trick" is that the moving observer does not stay
at rest in his original frame.
