The bolded is why.
If you arent being strict, weighing your food and making sure to account for all you're eating then you are eating more then you think and it's very easy to eat your deficit, even with exercise

Weight loss is created by a calorie deficit. Exercise can be part of creating that deficit, but if you aren't in a deficit you won't lose weight even if you're exercising regularly.3

Start logging all your food every day, keep doing the exercise! Time and consistency and accurate food logging is the key.
