Sure you can - just eat less than you burn by a reasonable amount to make it fat weight.
Fitbit can be a tool that can help estimate what you burn.
And log what you eat.
Inaccuracies on both those can make it seem like you can't lose weight - it just means the numbers are off on paper compared to reality - calories burned can be inflated due to several known reasons, calories eaten can be underestimated due to known studied effects of people logging food inaccurately.
But you can also use the tried and true method used through the years.
Move a little bit more than you currently do (say 30 min walk a day vigorous).
Eat a little bit less than you currently do, and expect you'll keep going down as you lose bodyweight and burn less daily in whatever you do.
How long have you tried? - because also fat loss is not fast, neither is fat gain for that matter.
Hope you can figure out where the issue is with your lack of results.
And if it's fat weight you are interested in losing (most are) - also use measurements of key areas since scale weight is not always the best indicator of success.

It can be a challenge, but you're absolutely able to do it @SunsetRunner! Don't give up.
Make sure to count your calories and keep track of your daily activity, as long as you're in a calorie deficit, you should start seeing some results, but discipline and motivation are very important.
A few years ago I lost 30 pounds by following a consistent food plan and making sure to reach my daily step goal. Before that I definitely felt that it was just too difficulty, but wearing my Fitbit and realizing it didn't have to be a stressful thing in my life really changed everything for me.
Let us know about your progress!

@SunsetRunner Weight Management is about CICO (Calories In, Calories Out). The important part is having an accurate system to measure metrics. Fitbit provides both: Food Tracker and Activity Tracker. Once you set it up, just ensure you are putting in accurate food data. It does work. Doign it consistently is what makes the weight come off.

Did you read any of the replies?
Information can be available but if you don't use it ....
Really doesn't matter what you burn (and you do know that is calculated, right, not a measured calorie burn like you measure your weight or the food you eat), since you have no comment about how much you eat.
If your weight is staying the same over weeks - then you are eating as much as you burn.
If you want to lose weight - eat less than you burn. It really is that simple.
So if you don't know - remove something from your normal diet.

Eat as little as possible and the highest quality foods possible. You should know that each person has a different metabolism, perhaps even related to blood type, body structure, any underlying health problems, etc. In my case, high fiber, high gluten, gluten, gluten, wheat, wheat, wheat (I make my own bread with my own hands, using four organic ingredients, including the yeast), and other whole grains, legumes, vegetables, vegetables, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and occasional seafood. Avoid any processed food like the plague. Find more tips on careyourbodynow.com. Exercise everyday, yes, for at least 30 minutes. Personally I cannot do rigorous exercise, but I do about 40 minutes of stretching/yoga and about 40 minutes of walking everyday..

I gotta call out the bad advice above - eating as little as possible is advocating an eating disorder.
Perhaps you meant something else by that phrase and it just comes across as bad.
The goal should be to be able to eat as much as possible while still losing at a reasonable rate.
People are already talking about losing weight because of some problem with food, which means anything extreme recommended will likely be unworkable long term and cause failure as 80% do in reaching and maintaining goal for a year.
But science behind blood types and body structure for anything meaningful especially weight loss has been debunked in many studies.
Finding as you did what works for YOU to sustain and adhere to a reasonable diet is good advice, as indeed people's level of healthy body differs and stress it's under.
