I guess my question is what is the overall consensus of what's more important the diet or the exercise?

For just weight loss diet is #1.
Intense cardio that leaves you covered in dripping sweat is #2.
Walking is better for weight loss than lifting weights....

All complete nutrition stores, I believe, have a machine that will tell you your bmi, body fat %, and muscle mass per limb and for your torso. You can then track your results by getting a scan every few months.
If you know your bmi than you can have a starting point for caloric intake which will maintain your weight as it is or + or - it.
One of the best fat burning exercise is to ruck hike with a good amount of weight in your ruck....2 hours at a good pace will burn over 1000 calories easily. plus it is one of the best full body exercises that you can do.

Diet is number 1. Cardio would be second to diet. Light weight lifting with lots of reps will help lose weight. Heavy lifting will make you gain weight. Walking is good overall for health because it promotes circulation besides weight loss.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

It is very easy to lose weight if you have a bit of willpower. Cut out sugar and fat and eat less overall.That is all.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

You get fit in the gym. You lose weight in the kitchen. That about says it right there. I might add that just plain old work can take pace of the gym. Do you need to dig a ditch, excavate a footing, etc.? Don't rent a piece of equipment, but spend an hour a day with a shovel, you'll get something accomplished, and you will save equipment rental fees and gym fees all at the same time.

Care to elaborate on your reasoning?

Care to elaborate on your reasoning? What Trapper7 means is lifting heavy produces larger muscle, which is denser than fat. Many men and women look leaner but actually weigh more.
