TL;DR
A program of diet plus lifestyle activity may offer similar health benefits and be a suitable alternative to diet plus structured aerobic activity for obese women.
Abstract

Evidence suggests that modern inactive lifestyles are at least as important as diet in the aetiology of obesity and possibly represent the dominant factor.

Women who received aerobic training displayed significantly smaller reductions in REE at Week 24 than did those who received strength training, and there were no other significant differences among conditions at any time on this variable or in changes in appetite and mood.

A closer look at data from The Netherlands suggest that average weight increase in the order of about 1 kilo can be responsible for quite dramatic increases in the prevalence of obesity and that only small changes in the daily caloric balance may be sufficient to increase the number of obese subjects in populations.
American Journal of Clinical NutritionRelation of weight loss to changes in serum lipids and lipoproteins in obese women
89 Citations1995RE Andersen, TA Wadden +3 more
It is indicated that modest weight losses are associated with significant improvements in serum lipids, but that factors including the energy and macronutrient content of the diet prescribed contribute significantly to the improvements observed.

It is suggested that increasing the energy content of very-low-calorie diets to 925 kcal/d may prevent the loss of total BMD, but not the loss from the femoral neck and greater trochanter, which raises a concern in light of the high frequency of dieting in American women.

It was concluded that the TriTrac yielded a better estimate of activity in obese children than self report and the vector magnitude composite score of the Tri Trac accounted for significantly more variance in both self-reported activity and unadjusted heart rates as compared with the vertical directional vector.

Findings that most weight reduction efforts are ultimately unsuccessful and may be associated with adverse health effects are reviewed, methods of identifying those persons most in need of weight reduction are discussed, and important developments in treatment are examined.

Data suggest that the Latin equation is more accurate than the ACSM formula for estimating oxygen consumption of loaded cycling in obese women, however, caution must be used when attempting to predict the caloric cost of unloaded cycling.
