Eating. Specifically, do it less.

You might enjoy watching the movie Fat Head on loosing weight, and overall improving health.

"Fat Head is on Hulu!"

I'm 44 and have totally transformed my body in the last two years. I lost a net 35 pounds and added significant lean muscle. I can tell you that no matter how much exercise you do, you won't lose the weight you want to lose without controlling the calories. I worked out six days a week for months and lost about fifteen pounds without modifying my diet. I felt better and looked a lot better, but I wasn't where I wanted to be.

 

I cut the last twenty pounds in about seven weeks with a strict diet. I did a zero carb diet for about three weeks, eating whenever I wanted to and that cut about ten to twelve pounds, then I went to low carbs and calorie reduction. 

 

I'm convinced diet is at least 80% of weight management. 

 

Good luck.

I'm 43 and have had exactly the same experience. Diet is key.

I'm 53 and after a nasty bout of viral bronchitis I packed on a fair bit, but 4 visits a week with intense cardo 50-60m crank the heart rate up to 156 and over for at least 30 min of that and its burning the fat, then about 15 min on the weight circuit. I have shed all that I put on, now to trim down some more.

If anything with all the exercise I am eating less.
