Fair enough. I never was an active person until a few years ago and it's made a really big difference in my self-confidence. Once you feel comfortable doing so I really recommend finding more activities that you enjoy. It's great that you are walking and enjoy that.

I mean exercise can absolutely use up a ton of calories. 40 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling is probably burning 500ish calories. Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot but it's basically a 25% increase in calories burned for an average(ish) person. Ignore the fact that exercising can make maintaining a calorie deficit psychologically more difficult since you'll probably end up really hungry after.
