What's more important to lose weight: diet or exercise?

[mcasey]

I used to be in great shape with a flat abdomen. Now I'm over 50 and I have a beer belly despite working out regularly. I try to eat better, but it just seem harder to lose weight. I've tried diets too, and I rebound as soon as I'm off? I'm thinking of trying a low carb diet, or maybe the keto diet. Anybody had success with one of these?

To lose weight you have to create a calorie deficit.  Low fat, low sugar helps but calories in<calories out is the most important.  Exercise is a given.

I've done really well with Keto, but it's hard to maintain if you return to regular eating habits!

I try and stop eating by 7pm latest. Late night snacking can easily add several hundred calories to your day without even realizing!
