Exercise also stimulates digestion and triggers a hunger response in many people. This is why exercise without diet often fails to result in weight loss.

People overestimate calorie burn from exercise.

For example, a lifting session may burn 200-300kcal and then they'd think they've burned a lot, so they will end up eating 500kcal back.

so as a result there is no deficit there.
