Definitely keep doing what you're doing (as long as its working). Even if your thighs are big (you may just think they are because you look at them when they're squished while sitting down) it may be because you're predisposed to storing fat there.

If you do have big thighs from cycling...good! They'll look even better when you trim down a bit more.

Brilliant achievement by the way.

I recommend everyone do squats. They are a fantastic exercise. However, they won't cause fat to come off your legs. They'll only help reduce your overall body fat levels (if you are on a calorie deficit).
