    OP.. oh OP... if anything, it's 100% about the diet.

    Kinda have to agree with you here.
    Exercise gives me more calories to munch, but there's no way I can lose with exercise without watching my calories.

    Calories in < calories out = weight reduction. If you eat less than BMR you will lose weight. If you gain weight either you miscalculated your calories in our your metabolism slowed. If your metabolism slowed then your BMR is reduced as well and you ate more than you burned. Nothing wrong with the equation you just assumed BMR is a constant. Did you have your BMR measured or did you use a calculator? Both are wrong but one is less wrong than the other.
