Healthy but still need to lose at least 5-6 lbs!

I just turned 51, and being an avid fan of exercise, am having a hard time losing 5-6 additional pounds. I'm good at 140, am now at 145.5. I feel it, see, not happy about it.
It's got to be my age, I'm telling you, it is a battle and not like it used to be for me, to lose weight.

The last few pounds are the hardest, and I think [no proof] that age is also related [I'm 71], perhaps because our metobolism slows due to age?
Not much help I know, but just to let you know you are not alone0
