Depends on the exercise and for how long. I can burn over 6-800 calories per hour cycling - and this is measured by a power meter, not just some estimation based on heart rate or something. Even for someone more casual 3-400 calories is a pretty substantial deficit.

Diet absolutely has the biggest effect though. You can't out-exercise a bad diet.
