Where in the New Testament does it implore us to observe “Lent”? Nowhere. It is a man-made tradition.

Genesis 3:17-19,Philippians 3:10-11, 1 Peter 5:6, Isaiah 58:6-7, Mark 1:12-15, Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 22:14-23; John 13:1-17, Matthew 21:1-11, among other.
But it's all about the Bible. It's preparation leading up to the crucifixion and Resurrection. It memorializes those Events in his life.

Where in the New Testament does it say that everything Christians do and believe must be in the Bible?

This. Now, if you feel led to fast do so. But there is nothing in Scripture requiring you to fast or give up something during Lent.

You’ll find it in the Bible next to “altar calls”, “revivals”, and “Wednesday night Bible study” ... all of which are also man-made traditions.
