Why does it seem woman gain weight after a certain age? What causes this? I’ve always been a thin person all my life but I’m 43 and I started to gain weight, I eat really good and am active around my house most of the day, I barley sit during the day, I’m always cleaning or doing something around the house and in teh yard, my husband and I go for walks a couple times a week, but I don’t seem to be losing and weight. I’m getting discouraged.
Hormonal imbalances will cause this. It can be either thyroid, or estrogen imbalance, etc. Also, the older we get, the less calories we require so as we get older, we need to decrease our calories.
