For the last year or so I have been keeping the intensity as tight as I can but it means I lose only about 230 - 240 calories because I go very slow. I changed the intenisty of my bike today and its much easier to go faster now. I also lost more calories in 45 minutes (350 calories). Is it okay if the intensity isn't so tight? Will I still lose weight? I also do 50 situps and 30 squats.
 
sound like you are using a stationary bike?
if so try doing this:
use less resistance.
Try to keep you cadence(how many revolutions per minute you pedal) up to about 90/minute(about two revolutions per minute)(this equate to almost running pace) and do them in about 5-10 minute intervals , with rest periods in between(coasting)

diet is also important(less calorie intake will help with the weight thing)

remember to Stretch before and after the exercises
