As the age advances,the muscle mass in body gets depleted as a natural phenomenon..The metabolic rate i.e.the efficiency with which we convert food into energy also gets reduced.Best course is to reduce the body weight so that the BMI is in lower safe range I was sailing in the same boat.I am also 71 and was 78 kg.Now I weigh about 73.The reduction took me two years.

Is your kidney functions normal?Exessive loss of protein through urine can cause loss of muscle mass.Weight may be constant because body is retaining water.consult your doctor to see if your kidney is ok.
