Weight lifting's more effective for me at controlling fat than it "should" be according to charts and calculators and such, cardio and calorie deficits, even largish ones (1400 calories/day was one I kept up for 60ish days straight, once, and no, I didn't once cheat, so yeah, I've actually tried) OTOH are way less effective than they "should" be. Flat-out not eating for a day or two at a time does work, though. IDK why, that's just how my body works. Sucks, because dieting's easy for me and saves time & money, versus lifting weights, which uses up time (and space, if you do it at home, and sometimes money). At least straight-up fasts work.
