“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Why do I sweat so much at the gym?
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
