Need a couple of tips

For multiple reasons I have put on a fair amount of weight. I have spent a fair amount of the summer cycling to pull it back into my control.

I have managed to get my stamina up so that I can now cycle 20-25miles in one go without too much difficulty (actual bike on road)
Added to that I have been putting time in on a cycle bike in the house, I can go for an hour at 17km/h without really breaking a sweat on a medium restitance.
Recently I've put it up to a fair resistance and have been doing 15 minute stints at 20km/h which really kills me. Plus I have started running 10minutes a day just round my local area.

On top of this with a 7.5kg dumbell I have been doing;
100 sitting bicep curls (once or twice a day)
10-20 lateral/front raises
20 concentration curls
35-100 flat chest presses
20 pressups (3 times a day)
My diet isn't bad, lots of fruits, veg. I still have fair amount of meat in my diet but that is because Im always a carnivore at heart. Good news is that I have cut out all alcohol and pretty much just drink water atm.

I plan to take up rowing at my uni when I head back late september.

My worry is with the winter months coming in I am worried that I am just going to put all the weight I have lost back on. Any tips for me to increase/maintain regular weight loss without going to the gym (just isn't possible for me)

That routine above is not doing snything for you. You need a decnt full body routine. Google 'Death by Bodyweight". And your diet "isn't bad"? You need to fix that and have it "great".
 
I'll give it a go, any other tips?

I am not sure about my cardio, is it not enough or do I just have to wait longer to see real benefits?
 
For your cycling you say "Without too much difficutly". That is a problem. You need to be pushing yourself. Try intervals. If you want to drop fat doing Intervals is the way to go. Google HIIT.
Also at the end of the day if you are cycling and running your diet is going to be the key.

I'll replace my easy cycling with HIIT style training and push my running a bit further (I have only just started it so it is still hard for me)

Plus replace some of the bad points in my diet with more healthy choices.
