As we age we lose muscle mass which causes our metabolism to slow down. The way to become fit as we age is to increase our metabolism and to continue to rev it. We need to gain muscle and lose fat. We can do this by eating often, small amounts and the right foods and working out effectively and with periodic variation in what we are doing. Shifts in metabolism cannot be measured with a scale.
