It's literally only the calories

This.

Personally, when I was focused on weight only, I found exercise only made me gain weight because I wanted to eat more.

I've actually lost the most weight in the fastest time when I was just eating candy bars and coke. If you count the calories, you'll lose the weight. However - you are more likely to gain it back and you won't necessarily be healthy.

Ideally, you want to count the calories until you understand what foods you can / can't have at what portions. Then, you need to find a balance of healthy calories and exercise that works for you - it's the only way you will keep the weight off.
