Calorie restriction seemed like poor framing for transitioning then settling at lower bodyweight, otherwise where does restriction stop. IMO spirit of prescription for restriction when older is to find lowish bodyweight that doesn't stress your biology too much, but also exercise to build enough muscular base to be durable against injuries. Not mutually exclusive goals. Building muscle base doesn't involve PRs, they get set regardless on way to building base, but long term maintenance is fairly trivial. Go in gym do 3x8 of on compounds that cover major muscle groups with medium (i.e. not very strenous weights) a couple times a week.
