Ride more, eat less.
You're not some kind of perpetual motion machine in which your body can produce wattage without burning off calories and emptying fat cells. Too many people rationalize, and make excuses for themselves regarding their 'metabolism' or other such qualifier, but at the end of the day the body is essentially like a car. You get so many miles per gallon. If you drive a lot you'll empty the tank. You can't keep putting fuel in, and not driving and expect to total weight of car + fuel to go down.
It really isn't any more complicated than that your diet has a caloric intake that is not in equilibrium with your exercise regimen. Heck eat the same as you're eating now and ride more and the weight will come off...
