These discussions always have to eventually go full retard and boil down to black and white positions. Of course exercise burns calories and even if you're just burning a couple hundred calories doing 20 minutes on the exercise bike in the morning, that's 200 less calories that you have to cut from your diet. "Significant" technically just means measurable and in this case it definitely is. If you're running a 200 calorie per day deficit you're probably going to lose 10-15 lbs over the course of a year, so that's significant.

We could just say "Both exercise and diet are important to health but for most people trying to lose weight, changing diet is the most potent way to lose weight quickly" but then we couldn't just go back and forth calling each other retards all day.

The main point of lifting is to not look like a melted ice cream cone after losing weight. Even a slight bit of muscle can make a huge difference in the way you look even at the same weight and body fat.

For me the only exercice that does decrease my weight is walking because it doesn’t increase hunger. Need to be creative to include enough in your modern routine to make a difference.

Also, very importantly, don't be "victim weight" as our circle calls it. Look like a man, not Ellen Page.

I'm not "THIS" bad - but I just dont think you can get rid of the extra skin without a tummy tuck or w/e. Ignore the monkey at the end trying to collect internet likes.
