Is this age-related decline in GFR or kidney disease?

Consider not exercising for at least 2 days before a creatinine blood test because the proteins will be affected by muscle metabolism. Stay hydrated but not too much salt(s) as well. I'm 71 and used to avg 160 mi/week on my bikes, but diagnosed with stage 3a CKD last summer so ramping down (no known risks other than having covid)

I’m a healthy 68 yo female, consider myself active.
No health issues.
Last annual Dr visit in April….All my labs were normal (pretty much same values as the last 12 years or so) except eGFR of 49.
No known risk other than Covid as well.
Going in for repeat soon. And also renal ultrasound before that visit.
