    Working out does encourage the body to spend more calories,eh not so much with some but yeah, "diet" is important but i think you wanna do exercise so you will look even better while losing weight ne?

    Core training is good overall cos well a strong core helps you do even more stuff, I train this by doing DL,quats and stuff like planks.

    I find Pilates great for overall stretching and strengthening my lower back and pulling my midsection in a little, but diet is hugely important and cardio to burn essential, would definitely recommend learning some Pilates though I can do so much more without the risk of pulling my back out

    This. Pilates and core training is great for your general health but unless you're eating at a calorie deficit it's not going to shed kilos.
