lets say im 36 now. and my weight is 85kg.

when i was 26 my weight is 72kg.

is it possible now for me to get back to 72kg?

ive calculate my calories but i found it really hard to go lower than 85kg. (already on weight loss diet for 2 month already)

is it with age our weight also increase? or is it because im just not working out hard enough ?

from what i know, as people ages, the metabolism goes down and hence need less calories/eat less.

I'm 38 this year. So I was 36 two years ago. My weight was 75kgs. I've dropped down to 61kgs with proper diet & clean eating (no carbs, more protein, no sugar, etc.)
Proper exercise & diet is important. Walk / jog / run about 10,000 steps per day. Do exercise to trim tummy fat, get a flat stomach.
Remember that the older you get, the less calories / food you need to consume. Aim for nutritious food instead.

Ask yourself this - Do you want to look 30 when you're 60, or look 60 when you're 50?
Then, live your life accordingly.

How is your diet like? Metabolism does slow down as we age.

Why not. I'm back at sub 80kilos at 36yo. From 100+ 2years ago

It slowed down likely because you're moving less as you get older. If activities remain the same, won't differ that much

More weight more strong

short answer no.
ive been trying to achieve 75kg but stuck at 60 like forever. and im getting old you know since im no benjamin button

I reduce my intake to 70% for 2 years and workout a lot. BMI dropped to 22, fat belly becomes 6 packs abs.

But my body is always feeling starved and sometimes I cannot sleep due to hunger. I drink water to get the full stomach feeling most of the time

Not necessarily, while sure the metabolic rate decreases very slightly, but the main culprit is inactivity.

As people get older, 35+ you tend to have the mentality of, wah old already cannot do this this that that, and it slowly turns you into an inmobile, inactive fat old lump who would have trouble even walking up stairs in a mall.

So the end result is, your eating habit is like what you’ve been doing for the past 10 yrs(not going into healthy eating, whole big topic there), but your energy expenditure is becoming lesser and lesser.

The human body is not designed to be inactive.
You don't stop exercising because you’re older. You grow old because you’ve stopped exercising.
