Depends on the purpose of that exercise.

You sound like you are thinking purely for weight loss efforts - and there's the rub.

Diet is for weight loss, hopefully just fat loss if done right.

Exercise is for heart health and body improvements - hopefully can support fat only loss if done right.

Exercise has side effect that usually causes water weight increases.

Some exercise can make someone very hungry - more than the exercise burned.

Only way that exercise really helps with diet is since you are doing more, it allows you to eat more.
And being able to eat more could be a way that you are able to adhere and sustain a diet, a deficit to the amount you burn.

Like would you rather be sedentary and burn 2000, and to lose 1 lb weekly (on avg) eat 1500?
Or exercise and increase daily activity and burn 2500, and then get to eat 2000?

As stated above, exercise is more for health and fitness than for weight loss, unless you are able to spend a lot of time and energy exercising. The current recommendation is for 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise for health. Find an activity (or several) you enjoy and do it as often as you can without getting injured. Walking is one of the best exercises out there for health, because it is easy and safe for most people, but it doesn't burn that many calories. Running burns a lot more calories, but has an increased risk of injury. Swimming is a great exercise, but you have to have access to a pool. Weights and calisthenics can help you become stronger and tone your muscles. If you are new to exercise, start slow and easy and give yourself time to improve. Look at the calories that you burn doing the exercise as bonus - you get to eat a little more than you would if you were completely sedentary.

If you're training for a very long endurance event then it's good to go out and burn a lot of calories most days, because calories are just energy and you'll need a lot of it to, say, run a marathon. You wouldn't measure your progress in calories, you'd just burn a lot in training.

But for weight loss, you're encouraged to eat the calories you burn with exercise and have a constant deficit every week.
