Using the exact renormalization group we calculate the momentum-dependent self-energy Sigma (k) at zero frequency of weakly interacting bosons at the critical temperature T_c of Bose-Einstein condensation in dimensions 3 <= D < 4. We obtain the complete crossover function interpolating between the critical regime k << k_c, where Sigma (k) propto k^{2 - eta}, and the short-wavelength regime k >> k_c, where Sigma (k) propto k^{2 (D-3)} in D> 3 and Sigma (k) \propto ln (k/k_c) in D=3. Our approach yields the crossover scale k_c on the same footing with a reasonable estimate for the critical exponent eta in D=3. From our Sigma (k) we find for the interaction-induced shift of T_c in three dimensions Delta T_c / T_c approx 1.23 a n^{1/3}, where a is the s-wave scattering length and n is the density.
