What's your diet plan to keep your body fat down? Being going to the gym and it's being a bit stubborn, probably age doesn't help though.

200-400 calories under maintenance and around 1g protein per lb of body weight, 60-70g fat and the rest carbs

Base your carbs pre and post workout. No other carbs throughout the day ideally. Get your energy from fats like eggs, nuts, fish, peanut butter etc.

You won't be going completely keto as you'll be having carbs around your workouts.

As long as you're in a calorie deficit to what your BMR is, at the end of each day, you'll be staying lean.

What sort of carbs are you having?

Don't expect consistency from your body, except that it will fight back after you lose weight, which will probably make it harder to progress. It's thus helpful to be innovative and determined. Switch it up.

Two good diets above, you may have to tweak either as we are all different, my opinion on carbs is to eat complex carbs but post workout then eat simple carbs to replenish your body energy quickly, it shouldn't store because your body will use it quickly, The key is filling up with a bigger percentage of protein than normal, most people eat a massive ratio of carbs. I only eat wholemeal seeded bread and in small amounts, museli to start the day and eat way more veg than potatoes and rice, then it's brown rice. You do have to find what suits you and it's not a quick fix, it takes time to shift the belly fat especially when in your 50s.
