If you aren't losing weight with the "eat less, exercise more" diet, you're doing it wrong and conservation of energy says so.

A somewhat separate question is "is the 'eat less, exercise more' diet supposed to lower your set point through exercise or just make you miserable but skinny?" To see if that works for you I guess you'd just lose weight and then ask yourself "how much does this suck?"
