Does anyone have a kid who lost weight through exercise?

You can't compare a kid with adults at all. Everything is different, and the reason doctors say that is because they see kids, a lot of kids, they see active kids who are slim or fine in weight and they see non active kids who tend to be heavier. These sedentary kids are a relative novelty a few decades old, otherwise kids would've walked, biked, worked in the fields non stop. If your kid needs to lose weight then your kid needs to start moving.

these kids also didn't consume as much high calories and as frequently as today's kids either.

Absolutely true. Didn't eat as much or had such bad food choices. Food industry is no longer agriculture as it was meant to be. Our bodies have no clue what to do with things we eat, but are not food and these things end up as stored fat, because it can't be digested in human body. I think realizing that sugar is everywhere and there are documentaries with hard evidence pointing that sugar, not fat, is the main reason for cholesterol and heart issues and many other health issues. By fat, I of course refer to natural fat, no matter butter or animal fat, and not the hydrogenated oil that is hiding everywhere, even on labels that claim 0% of it, in ingredients it is listed as containing partially hydrogenated oil.
