Cycling a couple of miles? Get a single speed and put it into a high gear. You have to work your arse off and theres no easy route out like dropping gears to make it easier - dig in, pedal harder and feel the burn.
Some people like running, some people like lifting weights- do what you like to do.
It is mostly diet though- you cannot exercise you way out of a bad diet and you can lose weight, even a significant amount, without ever exercising- you just need to stop eating.
I'm not suggesting you stop eating of course, the best approach is diet and exercise in combination.
Spend more time thinking about tightening your diet though.

I'd agree with Octatonic. Do whatever you find enjoyable, which makes giving up less likely. I'd add the caveat that whatever you do decide to do, start slow and build up slowly.
Jumping into something your body can't handle is a sure fire way to injure yourself. Once injured you can't do much.
You have to push yourself, but you'll learn about what you can handle as time goes on.
Again as Octatonic said, if you want to lose weight, you need to be in a calorie deficit. Whatever you choose to do, you need to be using more calories doing it, than the calories you have taken on during the day.
Good luck, and have fun!
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Dumb macho memes and naff slogan t-shirts are no match for finding something you enjoy. I suspect the best thing is a balance between weights and cardio. Start slowly and start with light weights.
In that time, started beginning of October last year I have gradually increased the number of calories burnt in a 2 gym session from 500 to 1500. I lost 11kg and did not vary my diet even slightly. I like food, but I also do not like fish and chips more than once a month, actively dislike pizza and really like proper home cooked food with lots of veg. My blood pressure has come down a bit, but realistically I've probably got another 10kg to lose.
What got me started was a drunken conversation with a mate who had fallen out of the habit. We both signed up to a local gym there and then in the bar... Yay smartphones
After that the pain of actually going was secondary to the pain of potentially wasting my money! After a few weeks it just became a habit
In May this year I was near 15 stone (5' 7"!) and miserable after spending years trying every fad diet and gym method going, nothing seemed to be working.
I decided to join weight watchers as a last resort on July 1st and yesterday weighed in at 12stone 4lb it's all online so no weigh-ins at the local church hall but it has taught me how to gauge portions and think before munching!!
I don't go to the gym now but may consider it again when I reach my goal, going to the gym does not make you thin. I'm lucky in as much as I walk 10 miles a day for work so am fairly fit but that alone wouldn't shift the weight.
I have no affiliation with them at all but it does work for me, how it works long term I'm not sure but will keep going as still want to shift another stone or so.
Anyone can do it.......honestly....and I've not felt so good in years.
If i can maintain for six weeks it'll become a habit then.
I’ve frozen my membership atm due to my health, but really do miss going. I used to get through a load of podcasts and it became part of my routine.
I’ve promised myself when I’m back to 100% that I will get a mountain bike & make the most of it regardless of weather. Something to look forward to
