It's all about food intake, less so about exercise. You need to run a mild
calorie deficit and make sure you move every day, even if it's just a walk
(uphill for 15 minutes and back is pretty easy).
I used My Fitness Pal earlier this year to track what I was eating. It allowed
me to see where I was blowing my calorie budget. No surprise, if you drink a
lot of beer and wine, free-pour salad dressing, and have seconds on almost
every meal - you'll never get ahead.
When you do a big ride you can eat more than usual! But if you eat about what
you usually eat anyway, you continue that deficit.
I only had to use the app (and the desktop version as well) for about 6 weeks
to get on track with portions, and continued to lose weight since I was aware
of what a good portion looked like and where I was eating/snacking too much of
particular things.
