If weight loss is simply cals in / cals out, why do post menopausal women have a harder time losing weight?

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?

Cals in/out is true but very oversimplified. The amount of calories your body needs, metabolic efficiency, internal resource allocation, etc, can change a lot with age or hormone changes. So you might not be able to accurately assess your caloric needs and it’s very difficult to revamp your habits/lifestyle to adjust, especially as you get older and less active.
