Eat less, or eat mostly whole plant foods. Exercise has a very small effect on weight loss versus diet.

Hard to imagine eating very little and gaining weight, but if exercise is what you're after, get a Zwift account, a bluetooth trainer, and go crazy. That's what I do.

But to be realistic a good, intense hour-long Zwift session burns me about 600 calories. I weigh 195 pounds or 88.5 kilos, so it would be far fewer calories for smaller folks, particularly most cyclists. 600 calories is about a large, robust salad or a small fish dinner with asparagus. Or 3 good beers. It's not a lot.

You want to find a way to lose the excess weight in the isolated season, I think you should use the treadmill method at home. The more calories you burn, the longer you run, you can burn up to 300-400 calories. Not only will this help you lose weight, it will also help you relax this season.

As mentioned earlier, exercise doesn't burn many calories. For no-equipment exercise, do stretching, jumping-jacks, stairs, etc. To avoid calories from snacks, drink lots of water, or flavored seltzer. Tell yourself that being hungry is good!

This. I’m 67kg (148lbs) and losing weight through exercise basically doesn’t happen for me. Exercise helps keep me fit and distracted from eating, but losing weight means calorie control.

Does anyone use a vertical climber? I've thought about adding one to my home gym.

Of course do develop abs you must strengthen those muscles, but the thread is about weight loss, not getting ripped abs. It's a cycling forum after all.

I used to do squats and pull-ups and some exercises with sticks. But, now I don't have that much time so, I prefer to replace the dinner with healthy salads.

This is a pretty creative idea but I don't think it will be very helpful because while pedaling, you might misspell some words so it might not be very productive at first but with practice, it might be productive.
