The things you mention above is excellent advice. Thing is I already do all of them I am also a personal trainer even though I'm not currently training anyone since jumping back in aviation.

Being active in fitness and eating clean is how I noticed something was wrong. Over the past year and a half I have had a huge issue with fat gain. Honestly it takes alternating HITT and LISS cardio plus weight training to keep the fat from taking over while eating 500 cals. under maintenance. I am far from being as fit as I was in 2008 when I was 250lbs at 10% BF. Now its more like 16-18% and it takes a lot of effort to maintain that.

I know the TRT is the right thing to do for me but I want as much info as possible before trying to maintain a 1st class while on it.
Sounds like you know better than I do, maybe the therapy is the way to go at this point.
