Why yes, 120lbs is getting on the heavy side. If OP is Asian and has one leg.

I am sure that OP looks great. I am 5’2” and 125 and I am far from heavy. In case you missed the memo, strong is the new skinny.
This is me also. I added a lot of resistance training and I love how i look. I notice people looking at my fabulous toned legs. ( It helps I am wearing shorter skirts.) And yes, I am now officially 50 and fabulous.

I am similar, OP. I have a very large appetite for my frame to the point that it has been remarked upon by many. I don't snack so I have really large meals. I just make sure I'm staying hydrated before and after meals so that my body doesn't mistake thirst for hunger, and the majority of my meal is vegetables then protein with little to no simple carbs.

What happens when you are less active? Does your appetite lessen?
I think it’s less about reducing the amount but making sure what you do eat is as nutritious as possible. Which is sounds like you are.
I would assume that if you get injured you’re appetite would adjust, especially if you’ve got a habit of making good choices.

Op, please consult your doctor. Hormone Replacement Therapy may help. Also please talk to someone about what sounds like body dysmophia.

Try not to overthink it. If you were an elite runner, your metabolism is probably revved up for life. Or at least for another decade. Enjoy it!
You could try to fill up a little more on vegetables. And make sure you're drinking a lot of water.

If you ever become less active then your appetite will probably decrease. If you are maintaining your weight, which is perfectly healthy, there is no reason you should eat less.

Have you tried higher fat/protein to carb ration? I hesitate to advocate “keto” because that diet is super restrictive, but a keto-esque diet has really helped me eat less and lose weight because I’m much more full with higher fat meals.

I am nowhere near overweight but I have a HUGE appetite. If I don’t eat a substantial, satiating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a snack in between, I get HANGRY.
If I skip a meal or try intermittent fasting I get migraines, or I just can’t function at work.
For what it’s worth, I’m very active. I used to be an elite distance runner, now I do more strength and resistance training and go on long backpacking treks every weekend. But I eat more it seems than even my athletic peers. I’m 5’4 and usually in the low 120s. I look fine, I just know this is going to catch up with me with age. I just don’t know how to eat less. I eat good food for the most part, plenty of veggies and protein and it’s not all carbs and crap, I just can’t not be hungry. It blows my mind how people can be offered food for free at an event and take modest bites of it or turn it down. I’m like, “free food? Less groceries to pay for myself? Let me at it!”
I’m concerned because there are general links to eating less and longevity, and it does seem that the long term answer to health is moderation, not eating a ton and then working out intensely. Plus, what if I get injured. But do some people just have turbo-charged metabolisms and have high caloric needs?
You are crazy.
I will also bet that you are not eating all that much if you only weigh 120 lbs, If your appetite was really so big that you were eating a ton you would be gaining weight.

I'm with others...
If you are:
1) active
2) within a mid-range BMI
3) not experiencing any health problems; and
4) eating quality foods
Why do you think you should eat less?
What does your doctor say?
