Hi Bonnie, yes it's true unfortunately.

Weight loss gets harder with age as the the body's metabolism slows down, as cells and organs begin showing the wear and tear of years of faithful service and get less efficient at consuming calories. Also with each passing year, adults lose more muscle mass, the biggest consumers of calories we have. There are also social factors that make weight gain easier in adulthood. In midlife, people are more likely to be able to afford more and richer foods than they could in their younger days.

Best advice exercise (strength training) and stick to good clean food like protein and veggies.
