The best to you. I’ve got rid of 18 lbs by cutting out sugar, alcohol, and very low carb dishes. I’ve just started back on 1/2 cup of steel-cut oats with fruit, flaxseed, Curcumin w/pepper. Decaffeinated coffee (black) for breakfast. Fish, fruit, salads Mediterranean dishes no breads.
Good luck oh and I got to the gym a few days a week too.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. 67, 6' 2" or at least used to be. Just had a 6 month follow up CT scan and my ascending aortic aneurysm has remained the same size at 4,3 cm. I take metropolol and chlorthalidone which keeps my BP between 90/50 in the mornings and 110/60. I have stopped working out with weights and go on hikes with my wife on trails we have on our land. I lost about 45 lbs. last year via the carnivore/keto diet. I take a wide selection of suppliments such as Gotu Kola, Pyconynol, L Citruline, L Argenine, Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Chloride, Berberine, and Vitamin K2 MK7 just to name a few which if I understand may or can help with arterial health and support. ALL of the suppliments I take with the knowledge and approval of my primary care doctor and cardiologist. I can't say if the suppliments help or not but my opinion is that they sure can't hurt or at least have not for the many years I have been taking them. Dr. Ford Brewer and better explain how these suppliments work. https://www.youtube.com/@PrevMedHealth
My goal, like you is to Lord willing slide into home plate in my 80's preferably 90's WITHOUT having surgery.
