You're not wrong because it's about calorie deficit of which exercise can help you achieve. Also since the way fat gets "burned" for weight loss is by exhaling carbon atoms, aerobic exercise can assist with this process.
As always do not add more mass than you expel.

#4This seems like a good primer on how to look at food differently. The problem with diets is that people relapse due to the fact that dieting is done through force of will and willpower is limited. For long lasting change, you need to reshape your relationship with food and be content with what and how you eat. Understanding some of the things in this article can be a good place to start.

#5I remember some food tasting good when I was younger. I do not remember food tasting this dang good though.

I don't eat particularly healthy, and I don't exercise much, yet I'm perpetually borderline underweight.
Why does the math not matter for me, while the next person watches every calorie, goes on long walks, and yet struggles to lose any weight?

Because the next person enjoys eating more than us?

#8Someone finally wrote this article. So refreshing. It's obvious when you live with a fat person why they have trouble losing weight, even when they're on a diet: they're usually not actually following it. Whether they don't understand portion sizes for calorie math, or look at calories at all, or eat things that they say "do not count", there is almost always a failure to understand what and how much they are eating.

I think you know the answer to that question, but are trying to make a point, which is IMO very valid. I don't care if you call it genetics or luck or just who you are, but people have different bodies and tend to default to different sizes. This idea of "one diet fits all" does not work. You need to do what is and feels right to your body.

Yes, but the most calories consuming activity we do is just living.
Your body spends calories to digest food and get more calories. Your brain needs around 400 daily calories. If you want to burn 400 calories doing some cardio, you'll need an intensive 30 min session or so.
If you don't fix your eating, the effort you'll have to put into exercising will be huge, sometimes even unachievable.
