I’m thinking I might have to tweak my macros , at 52 and only like 10 lbs to lose , I might have to be slightly stricter

    Well, some people find different macros make it easier to stick to a lower calorie thing. When I got to that last 15 pounds, it just took a long time. Like nine months and it was difficult for me to stick to even my tiny 300 calorie per day deficit. I ended up going with about 125-150g of carbs on 1600 calories.

    It's still about staying in calorie goals.

    How strict are you on your logging? Using a food scale? Logging every day? Eating mostly home-prepared foods? That's how I had to do it, otherwise I was under-eating then over-eating and I needed strict control at that last few pounds so I would not only not eat too much but also so I would eat enough.
