Welcome to mid life.

Eat less, workout more. Goodbye full fat dairy.

I’m 5’ 11” and my target weight loss calories is 1100-1500. I’ve lost 15 pounds since mid January. I’m a 54 yo woman.

I have been a very consistent 5'6" 140 pounds my entire adult life - through 3 pregnancies even - snapped back easily. I'm 48 and I have gained 10 pounds in the last 18 months. I don't want this weight!
I did calorie counting for a month and I naturally am only eating 1400-1600 calories a day. My macros were great - carbs and protein perfect, fiber great, and fats just a little high because I do eat yogurt and some dairy.
I don't drink alcohol or soda, I eat very minimal processed food, I exercise in a combo of strength training, fast walking, and yoga.
What do I do? I don't know what other changes I can make and I've never in my life dieted, so I don't know where to start.
