Hi, Staffizzy , welcome.
I was in my 60s and 19 Stone 4lb, (and 6 ft 3") when I joined here.
I gained a little over Christmas, but I have already lost it.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
