Exercise is a key component, absolutely.

But you are likely to lose weight faster and be healthier in general if you eat a diet that is designed to support those workouts- for example, having quality sources of lean protein after a workout and good carbs beforehand. It makes your workouts better, it decreases recovery time and generally supports your efforts.

ETA: I don't know how many others are like me on this one, but I absolutely can't run. I have bad knees that pop out of socket, and running is a bad, bad, bad idea. No one exercise works for everyone- the BEST exercise is the one that'll get your butt in the gym!
