Goal - lowering BF - is it a good routine?

I would be very thankful for your input here. I'm 39, 5'7'', 64-65 kg. My scale says I have 24% body fat, but it is sitting mainly in my lower body / abdominal area. I suffer from an under-functioning thyroid ( Hashimoto's ). I'm medicated.

My current routine is:
1. commuting to work on my bike - 15 km * 5 days a week ( not changeable, the only other option would be public transport )
2. 40 mins interval training or free weights training - 4 x week ( using 5-6 kg weights or my own body weight )
3. 30 mins kettlebell training - 2 x week ( using 6 and 8 kg bells )

Due to my family situation attending a gym is not an option, I have to workout at home.

What do you think? Is it going to bring me anywhere closer to losing my muffin top? Any constructive comments will be appreciated.

    ^^ It's going to pretty much boil down to your ability to maintain an energy deficit ^^

    Sorry for the delay in responding.

    What body weight program are you doing? Does it have progressive loading (i.e. progression baked in by way of increased reps/weight) and what is the general rep range?
