I am 57 years old and recently started strength training consistently in February. The before-and-after pictures are from 160 lbs to 155 lbs on my 5’3 frame.
I eat 130+ grams of protein, watch my macros, and track everything I eat. I strength train 3-4 days a week and am also training for a century bike race in June. After strength training, I bike at least 5 miles, and on days I don't strength train, I do my long rides.
I still have weight to lose & I'm trying not to get discouraged by how long it takes to get results, which probably has to do with age and things I could improve.
What suggestions do you have to help improve my physique? I want to get stronger while still spending time biking (something that I absolutely love).

This is a super vulnerable post. I'm 57 years old, and my body likes staying between 155 and 160 lbs at 5’3. I am staying in a calorie deficit; however, I could be a little better on the weekends (not saying I eat whatever, but I'll go out to eat). I eat 130+ grams of protein, watch macros, and log all my food every day.
I am training for a century bike race, which makes strength training difficult. I strength train 30 minutes 3-4 days a week, and train for the bike race 6 days a week. I bike at least 5 miles daily, adding more on several days.
I still have weight to lose, and it's been surprising how slow the process of losing weight while building muscle has been. The before-and-after pictures show a 5 lb loss.
What suggestions do you have? I'm still fairly new to strength training. I've been consistent since February. Also, the bike race is in two months.
