It's safe to say that the average american is sedentary. VERY sedentary...

The study wasn't about weight loss...it was the effect of exercise on insulin resistance. It's important because it demonstrates that some women with insulin resistance might not need to take Rx meds.
Regarding your situation...what type of workout plan are you on?(ie How long, How Intense, Cardio & Strength?)
Also, what is your eating plan (Quantity & Quality)?
My weight didn't really start to come off until I tweaked both the diet AND the exercise components. (cardio alone doesn't do much for me...I HAVE to do strength training to see any results, and I also have to keep a close eye on the calories consumed (regardless of the 'type' of diet).
Hang in there, you'll reach your goals!
