Well the issue here is that food companies have been pushing the calorie balance mantra, you can eat more as long as you exercise more, except studies have shown you cant, the mantra "you can't outrun your diet" exists for a reason.

Renesaince Periodization is a good youtube channel for science backed methods for losing weight if you are interested, but spoiler alert, it takes a long time and you need to eat less for periods of up to 3 months then stay at that weight for the same amount of time before continuing your weight loss to avoid bounce backs and excessively diet fatigue
But why does excersize have to suck so much.
Like if I wanted my muscles to hurt I could just slap em with a belt or if I wanted to gasp for breath... I could also use a belt.
Like I have "slow-twitch" muscles which means I'm better running I guess, but then Jesus fuck that hurts my knees and feet, which I could probably use a belt to cause pain to as well.
See it's a joke but that's actually what happens with exercise.
It only burns additional calories at first, but unless you keep overloading your body adjusts it's caloric budget to the new normal and you're not burning the excess anymore.
Ya gotta be eating right and upping your game through training past your limits, not until you're hurting, but until you've beaten your own records, even by a little bit. Don't spiral if ya just can't do it, but pushing the bar just a little higher has to always be the goal when trying to lose weight through exercise or else you're just gonna be the same weight but able to run that status quo distance you settled on.
The best weight loss advice I ever got was when my doctor said "Based on your BMI you're eating about twice what you should."
Since I was extremely house-poor at the time, I thought "Sweet, I can cut my grocery bills in half."
That, combined with living alone and a lot of yardwork keeping the house presentable got me to my ideal weight in about six months.
I've since moved and am no longer at my ideal weight.
my body thinks I'm a generational athlete or something, I eat like a pig but it all goes into muscles and energy, so now I'm 52kg but hey if you need someone to run for an hour straight I'm your girl...
Claims to be European
Oh! instead of Oi!
Talk to your DNA, maybe you can convince it that the world has changed and there's no need to be an european peasant anymore.
