I hope to hell I make it to 62 and have the "problem" of carrying 210 pounds mostly muscle  ;D - I would be devastated and no doubt my chicky too  ;D ;D.

Not a matter of being muscular. It’s carrying the weight at 62.

I guess 210 at 5,6 might be a bit much at that age.

Steroids accelerate aging and cell multiplication.
Cancer will occur, so enjoy life while you can, because it's either that or a heart attack. Your heart has enlarged, and your veins and arteries have become less flexible, making it harder and harder for blood to circulate until you have a stroke or an embolism.

If one feels good and functional, with good heart rate and breathing, why lose weight?

just remove a few of your heavy thinking brain cells
that will reduce the weight or failing that stop you worrying about it

besides at 62 you are in the ante room of eternity

Carrying excess weight is the risk factor.

Doesn't matter if it's fat or muscle.

I’m off (for good this time). Running and doing body weight type stuff daily. Down about 30 pounds. Honestly haven’t felt this good in years. And all my markers coming in range,

Being lighter takes stress off the joints.

It's hell to get old.
