I could still do the cycle or run - but it would take time away from my kids, and its not fair for me to be grumpy around them because im tired
I still do an hour a day commuting though, and an hour on the the weekend
If something is important enough to you then you'll find the time to deal with it.
Understand the basics of nutrition, mainly calories in calories out. I (and many people I know) often move 5 or more kgs up or down in preparation for a tournament with weight classes. It's really no big deal if you track your calories.
I'm always surprised how people struggle with losing weight, it's really not that hard to do.
Do some sport that you enjoy regularly that covers your cardio and lift some weights. Eat somewhat healthy, but mostly watch how much you eat.

I'm always surprised how people struggle to quit smoking. I smoked a couple of cigarettes, once, and then just stopped. It's really not that hard to do.
It probably boils down to sugar addiction. I am often hungry but too tired/lazy to make something healthy and instead eat something that is easy to obtain (processed food that's high in sugar).
Just track how much you eat, then you can be lazy with food preparation (I am too). If you feel hungry and need something filling, eat some protein.

Being overweight. What you eat MOSTLY dictates your weight. Your fitness level MOSTLY only impacts your medium-long term health. Yes, broad strokes, but more true than untrue. Being overweight and trying not to be overweight requires a LOT of mental energy and trying to fight the sugar addiction/control diet is genuinely exhausting. If I got fit, I'd still be fat, and it would sap the little mental energy I have to s…
But you are doing the right thing by focusing on losing weight through nutrition.

Addiction is a different problem, but losing weight itself is easy if you track calories (I know lots of people who claim the opposite).
Kids - well didnt stop me - but make it harder. In the past i would go for a 3-4 hour cycle or 1-2 hour run then get back and crash on the sofa.

(Maybe not cycling or running though... but they will probably enjoy stuff like rock climbing)
