You also might like resistance bands since they are small and travel well. Some sets have 40+ pounds of resistance for a wide variety of options. Similarly looking to YouTube for exercises with bands is good.

May I just comment - it sucks getting older! Actually, at 45 I do enjoy life. But the declining calorie burn is a real bummer!

Do you have a heart rate monitor? You can wear that during exercise to get a more precise calorie burn report. I've done vigorous weight training and burned 500 calories in 45 minutes (at 145 pounds). And HIIT burns even more for the time. From your description, I'd guess you are burning more than you estimate.
