Calories burned from running isn’t that great of a return.

An estimate is that a 200 pound person burns 792 calories per hour running at 5mph (12min/mile, or 8kph) on a firm, level surface. A 140 pound person burns 555 calories in the same scenario.

It’s much simpler to not consume excess calories, if you maintain a caloric deficit and don’t exercise at all you will lose weight.
