I have shoulders and biceps now that I never expected to have, along with a great big pot belly. I’m going to bike off the pot belly. Men my age shouldn’t run, you expose yourself to the risk of the ventricle splitting heart attack.

Yeah, i sympathize.
FWIW, you got to both cut the calorie intake and increase the calorie expenditure.
Calorie intake: there are many ways to do this, and the science is all over the map. Pick the one that you can stick with long term. Cut out a meal (breakfast or lunch) works for a lot of people. Use a diet: pick which ever one you can stick with (if you love bread, don’t do paleo). Maybe become a vegetarian for breakfast and lunch. Try intermittent fasting. Even the Subway diet works, or the candy diet.
Calorie expenditure. Biking is great. Low impact, good to strengthen the knees. Don’t run. You are too heavy. Walk instead. Maybe add a backpack, and gradually add weight to the backpack. Wonderful for core strength and your legs/joints. Do things that are fun, like baseball (i like tennis, and I actually look forward to it). Do some weight lifting–as much as you are willing to do. it pays off over the long term, bith for strength and balance. Find podcasts to listen to as you do whatever, so you don’t get bored. Boredom is the enemy–if it gets stale, you will find excuses not to do it.
Really, for both things, it doesn’t matter so much what you do as long as you do it consistently and long term. You got to figure out how to motivate yourself over the long term, and doing things you don’t really like won’t work. Make it fun and you will be successful.
