I plan on riding while it's quiet, not so busy times. With this extra weight I feel an in balance rather than being nimble but hopefully the weight goes quickly.
Am I right in believing sweating it out is the best form of dropping weight?

Not wanting to sound pedantic, but the weight you lose is lost through breathing it out rather than sweating.
Never ever listen to "eat less move more" bullshit, it's more complex than that. If anything, it would be both eat and move smarter.
If you're exercising, you're going to be placing more demands on your body, which will lead to increased hunger. But listen to your body and learn the signs of when you're full. No matter how healthy a meal is, if you eat when you're body isn't needing to be fuelled (ie hunger) then your body will store it, exactly what you don't need. Paul McKenna's book "I can make you thin) goes into great detail about this and is cheap on Amazon.
Never forget the ability to use weight to lose weight. Yep I'm biased towards using the gym but lifting low-to-moderate weight with reps of 50 is an excellent way of getting in cardio whilst strengthening the muscles you'll be using whilst cycling.
Good luck.
