It takes in general good levels of protein in your diet and stimulation to increase muscle growth. Many pro cyclists do not have a large upper body because they are not simulating or working the muscle groups high in the torso.
Muscle is also an energy source usable by the body, so if you lack resources your body will start to use these stores of energy.

Regarding exercise, muscle growth and weight, here is my personal experience.
With regular exercise (walking, running and cycling), I have obviously increased my fitness.
I have not lost weight. I still remain around the same weight (70Kg) that I was 15 years ago.
But most interestingly, I have become thinner or leaner. I used to wear 42 short jacket, then it dropped to 40 short and now even that look too baggy and I bought 38 S in Christmas sale. Same with waist, It reduced from 34 to 32 and now 32 look bit too loose.

Ok whilst I second @bromptonfb in this is not meant to teach anyone how to suck eggs etc but having got shut of 8st 10 lbs of excess fat I would sugest that you visit your local Slimming World group (yes I did and it was the best thing I have done before stopping smoking) they helped me totaly and I lost 5st 10lbs in a very short 24 wks,the other 3st's I lost before going and that took me the best part of 8/9 months to do, and all the time I was on that diet I never once felt hungery or in need of anything.Give it a go the hardest thing is walking through the door first night and all the ladies could not have been more help to me so no worries on them if you want to chat more just pm me.
