Weight gain after 40 is one of the most common and most misunderstood complaints in midlife, and it is rarely just about eating more or moving less. Falling estrogen changes where fat gets stored, shifting it toward the abdomen, while declining insulin sensitivity, rising cortisol, and accelerating muscle loss all work against the calorie-counting approach that used to work.
