"Eat X deficit size" "10k steps a day" influencer advice confusion

Every (reasonable) fitness influencer seems to peddle the same tips for weight loss, the biggest ones being a smaller deficit (500 cals max) and 10k steps a day, with an additional focus on strength training 3 days a week.

All great stuff, and things I would like to do regardless of weight loss! My question is this: is the 500 cal deficit taking into account the exercise? Are they setting their activity levels accordingly? Or are they taking the usual approach seen here, which is setting to sedentary and then logging your exercise separately/increasing cals accordingly?

I'm six foot and 315, so my sedentary 500 cal deficit is in the ballpark of 2400 cals. Should I just eat this amount and do the exercise as bonus burn? Log it and adjust day to day? Just looking for some clarity :(
