Same goes for older people in general. Is it harder to lose weight because they simply move less? What’s happening that makes weight loss so much harder in 30s and above?

Because its not that simple. Never was. Calories are energy, but how you process that energy and all the other factors play a huge role too. Older women have different hormones. Their metabolism slows down. Also stress can cause the body to hang on in fear of starvation. If you dont diet properly the body will do this too because it doesnt know when it will eat next. Movement. What you eat. How often. How you sleep. How often you exercise. How stressed you are. Your hormones. Any existing conditions. Genetics. Any potential conditions to consider. Are you experiencing any deficiencies? How is your thyroid? Your adrenal glands? Are you diabetic? My point is, losing weight was never as simple as cals in cals out. Thats just diet culture. Its a complicated thing. IT makes sense for it to be hard to lose weight. For most of history it was a bad thing to do so. The body usually never had to. Unless there was something bad of course.
