Well of course you need some physical activity but that would depend on your goals I guess. Exercise is just a way of allowing yourself more calories or burning off extra calories in a day because the more you burn the more you are allowed.
Exercise doesn't actually allow you to lose weight unless you control the intake of calories coming into your body. You could work out for hours on end each day but if you are eating junk all day long to it won't balance out.
This is why it is important to not allow yourself to fill up on 'empty' calories because you will just starve yourself and your body will just shut down instead of burning what it sees as extra fat.
Also those calories are just an example as everyone (even myself) would be different depending on height and normal physical activity. So you would need to figure out your net calorie intake.
