No need to exercise at all. It's all about diet. This is something that pretty much everyone agrees on.

Exercise can help weight loss, but if your diet is bad even exercise won't work.

Remove all processed foods, at least all white sugar and refined oils.

Eat only food that physicaly existed 200 years ago (minus sugar that rich people could afford in large quantities only). Removing white sugar and white flour and processed oils and all processed sweets is the safest best.

TLDR: eat whole foods.

I lost about 90 pounds with this advice. Now my BMI is 22. Food intake timing is even more critical. However, it is essential to get exercise to keep the body at maximum health, not merely great health.

If you want to lose fat, healthy eating is king. If you want to increase muscle mass (but also to maintain it), some exercise is necessary.
