> They need to live more active lives.

When I become more active, I also become more hungry due to the extra energy consumption. The net effect is little weight loss and more often than not weight gain. While being physically active is beneficial to health in many ways, it does little for losing or maintaining weight, at least for me.

deficit = tdee - intake

Active life = higher TDEE which means you can eat more food while still maintaining same deficit.

Exercise also stimulates digestion and triggers a hunger response in many people. This is why exercise without diet often fails to result in weight loss.
