First, great job on the weight loss! Those are two major accomplishments, and you shouldn't get down on yourself for not being able to maintain something your body has evolved to avoid. If you did it before, you can do it again, but it might just take longer.

I'm 42 as well and looking to get some sort of GLP-1 agonist as my A1C just popped up to 5.7 after being normal my entire life which is a huge warning sign for me. I've cut out processed carbs (all white bread, sugary snacks, etc) and junk food/fast food, and upped my walking to 4+ miles a day. I'm noticing "slimming" but not weight loss. We'll see what happens with my A1C, but I am excited to get a little help. I'd like to lose ~40 pounds over the next two years.
