Kinda-sorta.

To lose weight you need to be using up more calories than you're eating, and that's pretty much it.

While exercise will make you use up more calories, weight loss or not still depends on how many calories you're eating.

Let's say you're eating 1000 calories more than you need (that's easy, it's like two cupcakes and coffee), and you're using up 500 calories through exercise.

That'll still put you 500 cals more than you need, and you'll keep gaining weigh - only a bit slower now.

But maybe your eating is only a little wrong - say 100 calories more than you need. Now, 500 calories worth of exercise will be the same as 400 cals of weight loss. Nothing you'd see in a day, but give it some weeks and there'll be a difference.
