Say your body burns about 1800 calories a day naturally, you consume 2500 a day and burn an average of 500 a day excercising... That's still a deficit of 200 calories a day being out away as fat. In reality, 2500 calories a day is very easy to consume considering how we eat and drink around here, 500 calories a day is very hard to burn and chances are you don't do that every day of the week, and to too it off the 1800 a day naturally used by your body is probably very close to reality.
Diet is huge in achieving and maintaining your goals.

At the rate in my last paragraph, which is hard exercise 7 days a week and a modest diet, you would pack on more than a pound of fat every month.....
