I'm confused

My body requires X amount of calories (per lean body weight) to carry on
daily functions. If I add exercise, this creates a calorie deficiency.
As long as the calorie deficiency isn't so severe that it shocks my
body, the end result should be a loss of weight over time.

If this is true, what of the theory that if my exercise burns 100
calories, 10% being from fat, and I replace the 90% with carbohydrates
there is no calorie deficiency yet I still lose weight.

There are just too many different diet and exercise plans. It's all very
confusing.

Sure, but we don't know what you're trying to describe to us. Are you
trying to say, if you burn 100 calories, 10 from stored fat, and eat
90g of carbs, why do you still lose weight? Because you have a net
loss of 10 calories.

"Calories out" is very difficult to measure, and measuring wrong is
the usual cause for suspecting you've discovered some miracle diet.
