I revisited old hobbies, picked up new ones, and have…

The myth of age and weightloss?
I saw a post about being older and it being harder to lose weight and easier to gain. When you look it up it says a 20 year old man burns 10 - 15 percent more than a 50 year old all else being the same. My question... is all else the same: When i was a kid I played games and sports all day. When i was a teen I played games…

Does being on your feet all day even if your not walking make a difference in your activity level?
Let’s say I’m standing up all day at work pretty much in one spot and I’m not “walking” is that “sedentary/not very active” or “lightly active”? Does simply “being on your feet” change your activity level? Really want to get my activity level right so I know how many calories I can or can’t afford.
