As soon as I started to exercise I stopped losing weight. I've tried upping my calories, working at lower heart rates, you name it. I do resistance/weight training 3 times a week and some cardio every day. I ride hard on weekends. But stuck at the same weight for a year.

I'm not going to stop riding my bike and working out just so that I can lose weight! So, I keep trying different combinations of calorie input/output. Sooner or later I will get it
From your description it sounds like you have probably built up muscle mass with your exercise regimen. Muscle weighs more than fat, and is far healthier. Maybe you should compare your measurements with those of a year ago, or have a body fat composition test. I'll bet your muscle building has just been covering up your loss of fat. Soon enough your muscle will stabilize and help you burn fat.
