youth does not have as much to do with matabolism as you think, that is a big misconception. Genetics, eating habits and percentage of lean muscle mass which is one of the biggest are far more influincial, a friend showed me that information a little while ago, before that I too thought that getting older meant that I was going to have to change diet and increase exercise and that me going from a rail to actually being able to gain muscle weight was because I had turned 22 or so and my body was slowing down growth up and starting to allow growth out. Just not the way it goes, older people lose muscle mass from sedementary lifestyle brought on by working for a living, active older people HAVE to eat to power their activity levels and they do not gain weight.
Its like cause and effect, right now you have lean muscle mass, if that goes away your body begins to store more than it uses and then you will pack on pounds more easily, then you have to build up more muscle which will cause you to burn your extra stored energy (fat) which will cause your body to want more power in the form of food to make things happen this is when your matabolism picks back up.
