Lift weights. Whatever else you do after that is fine, biking, running, other aerobics, sports... whatever, but I would say everyone should lift weights. Especially men. It took me years to get my mother in law to lift, and after every stupid fad diet, and every fad exercise craze (looking at you trx), she finally started lifting and now she's losing weight, looking better, and being happier. Humans were designed to struggle and overcome, and to me few things embody that like lifting weights
Lifting weights build muscle, having muscle on your body increases your BMR, BMR is what will burn the most calories in the course of a day.
I eat whatever the fuck I want and still have visible abs. Not that everyone will be like me, but a part of my 'secret' to staying lean is that I've been grappling and/or lifting weights basically my whole life.
Lifting weights has massive benefits for your bones and nervous system as well. Muscles are the obvious part, but the entire skeletal system and nervous system gets huge benefits as well, with one caveat - you need good form.
