You don't mention your age. From personal experience as we age our metabolism slows down and the number of calories we used to need to gain or lose weight changes.

I have been an avid exerciser all my life. My weight problem does not come from inactivity. I exercise 6 days a week for 1-2 hours.

What I have found, and this is just what I have found for me, is to concentrate on the types of food you eat. Eating protein really helps fill you up and last a long time. Easily digested food like snacks are quickly absorbed and if you are not exercising will go to fat storage. This comes from a Mayo dietician.

What works for me is what Ginger mentioned mindful eating. Know what you are eating. Why you are eating. And do not eat when distracted, like watching T.V., etc.

You are going to have to find a calorie in and calorie out for you specifically to lose weight. Statistics and weight charts are just statistics and do not address you specifically and your metabolism.

Last year I developed COVID for the first time even though I took all 8 shots. It knocked me down and I could not exercise and ate every comfort food I could find. Then the COVID moved to a sinus infection then to a bronchial infection. I was down for 3 months and then 3 months to get back to my routine. So, I gained 30 lbs. during that period.

Now my body does not to part with all that snacking weight and fights me like Mike Tyson. So back to mindful eating and yes is working but very slowly.
Good luck.
