Get a calorie tracker. I started with the LoseIt app, now I'm on MyFitnessPal. From 1/1/13 to 10/10/14, I lost 152 lbs.
Here's my formula for losing weight with cycling:
Get an account on MyFitnessPal and start entering your daily food intake there
Get an account on Strava and make sure to tell it your accurate body and bike weight
Sync MyFitnessPal with Strava so that it will automatically bring in calorie burn info from Strava
Either use your phone (Strava app) or a cycling computer (Garmin) to track rides
Upload the ride info to Strava either automatically via the app or automatically via Garmin Connect
Tell MyFitnessPal how fast you want to lose weight (1/2lb a week, 1lb a week, etc.)
Then just follow MyFitnessPal's recommendations
MFP will automatically calculate how many calories you burn cycling compared to the amount of calories you eat
As long as the number at the end of the day is lower or even with your allotted calories, you will lose weight
Once, you get it all set up, it will be very easy to do on a daily basis and you will see results if you follow it.
