    If you’re on a calorie deficit, you will lose weight. Just say good-bye to the muscle as it goes with the fat. Especially if you’re at a large deficit.

    Calorie deficit for weight loss (which is being discussed as you need to up it per your other thread)

    Exercise for health and fitness. It does help create a bigger deficit but saying that you should be eating some of those calories back.

    For you being a young guy I would include some sort of resistance training, weight lifting etc.

    Just remember you don't need to exercise to lose weight but if you are enjoying it continue.

    and this...per the other discussion
