In regards to endomorphs - was losing weight that difficult?

Cat_Lifts

Or is the ectomorph/endomorph info a bunch of hullabaloo? I'm curious to what a lot of MFPers think about endomorphs losing weight slowly, ectomorphs gaining slowly, etc. Came across a few random internet reads today, and many of you have excellent advice and knowledge on many of the questions asked here. I ask because...

I believe I'm an endomorph type, given my size and past of not only putting muscle on easily, but putting on fat as well (depending on what I consume, too). So my question is, at the end of the day, do calories in and calories out still matter regardless of your "morph type" in efforts to lose weight? Or is better to follow more of a routine eating pattern with less carbs + cardio/resistance training for losing weight? Apologies if these are silly questions, I am learning to get some of the basics down through this thick skull of mine. Thank you!

I'm pretty big, with a long history of being the woman who could pick up the most (I'm not talking among weightlifters here) and I've always weighed at least 20 pounds more than anyone guessed I did. I'm building muscles pretty fast since I started lifting.

And I have been stunned that the weight has come off, pretty much exactly the way MFP has said it would, for the past 12.5 months. I made a decision that I didn't want to be hungry, so I've never had a daily calorie goal under 1470, and since I started lifting, I increased it to 1650. It slowed my weight loss a little bit, but not much.
