BMI isn't really a valid indicator of condition for athletes due to increased muscle mass. Are you confusing visible fat with loose skin due to reduced elasticity? Some fat is ok. You are certainly in the healthy weight range so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

When I want to lose the stubborn pounds, I reduce my daily caloric intake to what I burn on the bike. I let the metabolic calorie burn take care of the weight loss.
