something I feel people overlook when they say diet is 90% of weight loss

...is that working out has a lot of other small impacts on your body and mind.

Yes, you only lost (hypothetically) 250 calories after sweating it out at the gym. But you also gained:

1. A feeling of accomplishment that will make it harder to hate-eat a doughnut at 2am
2. A sense of responsibility for past-you - he/she didn't sweat it out and hate every second of it just so future-you could inhale back the calories with some additional salad dressing
3. Enhanced mood, lowered anxiety which can prevent stress, which is a huge component of overeating for many people
4. Increased energy levels which make it easier to get through your day without a Red Bull/sugary snack/etc

Caveat: These might not apply to all people who workout, and of course diet matters so much! But I would just say - if you're on your weight loss journey like I am, don't underestimate the impact of incorporating some exercise you enjoy.
