I often hear people that are trying to lose weight say that instead of cutting calories, they will just exercise more. This video below highlights that this is easier said than done.
In the video, this guy consumes 1000 calories in 6 minutes. He then goes and lifts to burn off the 1000 calories. It ends up taking him 2 hours to burn off what it took 6 minutes to eat... Sure he probably could have burned it off in an hour or 90 minutes with cardio instead of weights. But realistically the 6 minutes it took to consume the calories would still be very disproportionate to how long it takes to burn off 1000 calories.
He could have saved a lot of time in the gym by just eating a smaller portion of the burger/fries, or he could have chosen a different or healthier alternative. By doing this, it would be possible to start burning stored fat instead of what he just consumed.
If you are new to the weight-loss journey, you need to remember that it is almost always easier to lose weight by restricting your diet alone, instead of increasing exercise alone. Optimally you would decrease your calories and also work out. There are plenty of sayings like "you can't outwork your fork" and "Abs are built in the kitchen" that also drive home this point. If you are new to weight loss and want to get in a caloric deficit, calorie restriction is the simplest way to do so.
Good luck
