No one said that exercise wasn't 'doing much'. It simply doesn't do what some of us 'think' it does. (And that's ok.)
The only point of the articles is that it isn't burning as many calories as you think it is.
On the other hand...
Strength training can dramatically affect insulin resistance AND belly fat.

Plus, cardio exercise helps your heart (and women with pcos are at an increased risk for heart disease, according to some studies.)
Also, regular exercise can help improve your overall metabolic profile...take a look at your bloodwork results after several weeks of very regular exercise.
What's more, the more you exercise the better your body becomes at fat burning, since the body is always striving to be more and more efficient.
Strength training also helps to preserve lean muscle mass that will probably be LOST if you ONLY diet. The less lean muscle mass you have, the lower your metabolism.
Finally, exercise, moreso than diet, is a KEY factor in KEEPING the weight off.

I'd HARDLY say that exercise does doesn't 'do much'.
