I'm 51 yo, a nurse and an epidemiologist. I gained weight through aging, enjoying fatty foods, increasingly not giving a damn, and pandemic living. My primary weight loss strategy has been quitting drinking. Combined with better eating, enabled by quitting drinking. My actual starting weight was closer to 167, but I didn't start FatSecret until my diet had gotten me to 161. The first 20 pounds of extra weight was accumulated slowly over about 15 years, but the final 7 pounds was poor pandemic living. Hoping for the best.
