Just saying, if your goal is to lose weight, you'll be better off focusing on your diet.
Both are important. If you only eat less without working out, you'll also lose muscle not just fat.
Sorry you're right, you definitely need both to lose weight. I'm just emphasizing, if you already have a decent workout routine (ie calisthenics a couple times a week like OP), then in my experience, it's much easier to lose weight than work it off through exercise.
I'll frame it this way as well. People can be 50+lbs overweight (me) and still go to the gym regularly. On the flip, I find it much less common that people are obese and also have a healthy diet and food relationship.
100% a part of this. My diet is very linked to activity, I will overeat and snack when I'm not working out but if I have a routine I will eat better and less.
