[quote=Anonymous]OP,

Adding muscle will also help with bone density. The greater the muscle mass in the 50s, the lower the risk of dementia.

I'd consider joining a gym and working with a trainer at first to learn proper form with machines and to get a bodyweight routine down. I don't think just doing more of what you have been doing that has gotten you to this point is the answer. Abdominal obesity is a risk for metabolic syndrome - diabetes, NAFLD, heart disease, mood disorders, some cancers and Alzheimer's. Muscle is most effectively built in the gym. A trainer at first can help guide you and maximize "newbie gains" and consistent recomp.

Adding muscle boosts resting metabolic rate and will pay greater dividends for fat loss than simply increasing cardio. That is the swiftest, surest route to body recomp. Also, make sure you are getting plenty of bioavailable leucine, for ex. collagen has little.

This study may also be of interest. https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12937-022-00790-0

Good luck![/quote]
