Not menopausal, but I have alwys found that moderate exercise was teh key when trying to lose weight regardless of my age.
I find heavier lifting with controlled pace is moderate. Lift with Cee's youtube channel is great. I fons her workouts moderate as I move slowish and do 8-10 reps for lots of exercises and sometimes up to 12 like her. I am not wiped out and could even do them everyday except that I choose total body so I do every other day.
Cardio is a must for me, but again steady state moderate cardio has always been best to keep weight steady. Jessica Smith, Pahla B's walk/runs, LEslie, Lucy Wyndham Reed, GrowWithJo, and others have been a mainstay for at least 3-4 years now.
Also, I began having a lot less wiggle room with the diet part after 35 regardless of exercise. I exercise for health, strength, cardio capacity, and esthetics but it now makes very little difference in weight loss for me.
