Hello,
I think the diet changes and especially increased calories intake and lack of exercises can cause it. Also, you may check your thyroid hormone levels T3 and T4 and TSH because Hypothyroidism may be a cause.
Also the aging process makes the metabolism slow.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
