You’re correct in that you need to stay active, but I don’t think that’s as unachievable as you make out.
Going to the gym sucks. Exercise for the sake of exercise will get boring unless you’re one of the few who actually enjoys being at the gym.
Most people can find some kind of exercise they actually enjoy. For me it’s cycling. I started when I was 30 and I’ll admit there’s been a few patches where I haven’t been on the bike but it’s built up to something I truly enjoy 12 years later. This month I’m on track for more than an hour on the bike every day with no gaps.

Physical activity make you generate hormones that push you to continue doing it, weight management through food intake does the contrary, weight management through increased activity has much better long term results than going on a diet.

I don’t experience this at all. I don’t enjoy working out at all even after years of doing it consistently. I still have to force myself every time.

Same, I work out like I’m taking medicine. It might be my least favorite activity, but I know it’s good for me so I’ve been trying to push through

Maybe you’re just not doing something you enjoy so it counteracts the effect of endorphins and adrenaline?
