When I was 47, I weighed 325. When I celebrated my 50th birthday, I weighed 165. I'm 55 now, and while I'm not setting the world on fire, I stand on my share of podiums, hang with riders half my age, race both Masters and cat divisions, and am generally in the best health of my life. I have maintained my weight within 5 lbs of 170 since 2013.
You can do it, you just have to find what works for you and stick with it. For me that meant logging everything and going low carb off the bike, high carb on the bike. Something different might work for you, but don't think you can't lose weight in your 40s or 50s.
