Could someone please tell me what is the most important factor when using cycling to lose weight. Is it time spent on a session or distance cycled?

I think both factors should be considered.Find a sustainable pace and cover as much distance as possible.Then you can work on increasing your pace.A slower pace burns more % of calories as fat while a faster pace burns more total calories/unit time and raises you metabolism higher so you burn more fat even after exercise.But in my opinion using a faster pace is a more advanced technique improved through training so I would begin on the slow to moderate side. Proper diet is also very important.

not an expert here, but I think what you eat, when you eat, and maintaining the appropriate optimal heart rate throughout your workout.
