And honestly, the latter is hard to do because alcohol is harder on your body as you age and you may instinctively handle that by eating more or exercising less.
Try cutting out most alcohol (maybe limit to 1-2 drinks a week). See what happens. I think you will see weight come off and stay off more easily. And if you find it is mentally/emotionally hard, then you will have learned something useful about your relationship to alcohol.
Also, people are drinking too damn much during Covid. Try therapy or knitting instead.
This is me completely. I knew it was the issue for over a year, but was lacking in willpower. On Jan 1 I cut back and have seen a difference.
