It's probably already been mentioned, but diet accounts for weight far more than exercise. Exercise simply helps you achieve specific types of fitness. Skinny people are not necessarily healthy, after all.
I'm currently 5'9", 145 lbs and I've really cut back on exercise since getting injured months ago. I'm down to twice a week in the gym for weights and 2 or 3 cardio workouts a week. I used to run 6-8 times per week and weight lift 3 times per week. Back then I was 135 lbs - my peak marathon racing weight.
In terms of diet, I eat fewer calories now, since I'm training less, but I still focus on whole grains, protein, fruit and veg and eating smaller meals frequently. I'm at a more sustainable weight now but I'm still reasonably fit.
