    I am in the same boat as you (although I only had to lose 40 pounds). For me, it's exercise. If I don't walk an hour a day I gain weight. It does not matter what I eat. It happens every winter when there's too much ice to walk to work. Started walking again and the weight came off. Good luck.

    There is some research that shows exercise helps control hunger and metabolism

    Could it be age related? We slow down as we age.

    Usually from lean mass loss. That's what I read.

    First, I hope to be a rigid maintainer like you when I get to goal weight.
    Last, There's lots of good advice above, but one missing that guys our age should consider. Do you get annual physical and make sure all the tests are normal? Any family history of anything these tests may not catch. Maybe get and endocrinologist and check the testosterone.

    Yep. And I just had a CBC about a month ago. Other than my frustratingly low RBC, everything is normal.
