losing weight without losing strength

[Tri-Dude]

Only been at this about 6 months, but I ride every other day, 1/2hr duration at 75-85 max HR with some running and swimming. My weight is fixed at couch potato size, about 45/50 lbs over ideal.

My waist, chest and neck are dropping inches, but I would love to drop more weight any advice?

ok, so i did a 15 k in november and now I'm in "off season" and I want to lose some weight while I have the chance. I know that 20 lbs would really help me with my goals for the summer. How do i lose weight without strength? I am dieting and eating a lot of protein, and I am still working out. But I'm worried about losing all of the muscle I put on this fall. Any suggestions?
Thanks
