This and another poster also noting you cannot burn fat in spots.

From personal experience, you've got to look at what you're eating, track it and maintain a daily calorie deficit. Focus on eating a balanced diet and use cycling as exercise (as well as enjoyment). Just watch out with overeating on days that you ride.

Giving my anecdotal experience, I got back into road cycling after a few years in June. I struggled to lose weight at first but after changing my diet and tracking it, is when it started to fall off.
