It seems odd to shower before getting all sweaty but it works. Maybe you could wash your clothes in the gym shower, wring them out and let them dry under the desk. Should kill the stinkies.
Or put on a load of sunscreen before you leave. That'll cover some of the funk up.
...or who cares if you are that stinky person on the ride home. I would guess by the attire most would be able to discern that you are/were "working out" to some degree and would expect it. We can't always smell like roses.
Grats on riding for the last 3 months and welcome to the forum BTW.
Shower before you go and problem is solved! When you get to work, wipe down with baby wipes.
Change your shirt out to a cycling jersey. They dry quickly.
