The main reason "dieting" doesn't work is because people think it's a temporary change rather than a lifelong change.

(You did address this, but it was quite far down, so I wanted to point it out more clearly.)

You typically do have a more restricted calorie intake for faster results, but yeah the goal is to reach an equilibrium and that WILL be less calories than you're currently eating by definition.

Mass takes calories to maintain, a lot of calories, really.

Only way out of that is to put on and keep muscle mass.
