[quote=Anonymous]OP I am the same age and in the exact same boat. My weight always fluctuates by a few pounds and it seems that my new set point is 6-8 lbs. higher than it was even a year ago. I have done IF on and off and prefer it to any type of diet. It's easier for me to restrict when I eat than what I eat. Though I am trying to increase protein and reduce carbs (for example, scrambled egg muffins when I break the morning fast -- more like an early lunch -- instead of cereal).

In terms of exercise I think what my body is missing is the truly high intensity cardio. It sounds like that is missing from your routine as well. I am working out 4-5 times per week but it does not compare to the couple of times per week I was doing Orangetheory. I really think there's something to their method where you spend at least 12 min at 84% or more of your max heart rate. Supposedly that makes you burn calories long after you stop working out. Do you have a heart rate monitor? Maybe try to do workouts that put your heart rate at 84% of max for a total of 12 min or more. It doesn't have to be all at once -- at OTF it's 12 min or more total within the hour. Do this on top of the weight training... maybe a workout with both HIIT and weights like OTF does. I can't wait to go back there as I have a hard time pushing myself that hard at home. I work harder when I am in a class with other people.
