I have a bowl of porridge with honey for breakfast (proper oats), a sandwich for lunch, 2 apples and a banana throughout the day and a simple tea of chicken, salad and a baked potato.

Throw in averaging 120 miles of cycling per week since Xmas I can't work out why I've stopped
Sounds fine .. have you tried changing when you eat those things e.g. Hi GI food such as Banana\Baked Potato straight after cycling not during other parts of the day?
Are you weighing yourself first thing in the morning? Supposed to be, I've read, the best time to do it and then stick to the same each day.
Also a week is not long.
You'll get variations due to hydration levels.
But yeah I'd be p*ssed off too with a diet like that + 120 mies per week.0 -

Slowly coming off, but the last little bit is harder to shift. I had hoped to have reached my target by the end of January but will have to perservere a bit longer

I lost a fair few pounds over the weekend i think mostly due to fluid loss but its back on now the difference now though is my waist and visible body fat is down, so much so the uni-ab has become four slightly visible sitting on top of "uni-ab"

I'm still at 12st 8lb but I think you're right - jeans are definitely baggier (at my peak 2 years ago I was pushing 36-7" waist and now downto 32-3")
