fwiw when i went from 135kg to ~87kg back in 2010 I did almost all of it through running, when I then felt skinny enough to get a bike and I joined the forum and got into cycling I dropped maybe the last stone cycling and running but once I switched to just cycling I mostly just maintained my weight (and then ballooned when the cunting van driver drove into me and I was off the bike for nearly 6 months) but I also used to drink a metric fucktone of booze as cycling also meant I could get to the pub easier. thing is I wasn't training for a race I was just doing lots of 5-10k runs and maybe a hill session once a week/fortnight.
tldr; running helped me lose weight better than cycling but I did mostly just cycle to the pub.
