Have you had a T test? Testosterone may be the answer, but if your levels are ok it could be any number of things causing fatigue (anemia, etc). If you’re actually fat and old, it may just be a general lack of fitness coupled with age. Just eating “good chicken” won’t do the trick.

Been losing some weight and trying to eat better but still feel like I could use a "boost". Couple of ones on the internet/Youtube with good marketing but not sure if it's worth trying.

I used to use a testosterone gel, but DALs wonderful health insurance only covers that in FtM transitioning Transgender appropriate doses now. (Wish I was kidding gel was easy, and I hate needles )
So instead I jam a 22g needle 2 inches into my quad every two weeks. 1ml Testosterone Cypionate every 2 weeks.
It helps. I've neen on testosterone replacement since my 20s (the boys got nuked by chemo drugs)

My body decided to quit producing testosterone naturally around the time I turned 40. I now give myself shots every two weeks to get my numbers where they belong. I highly encourage you speak to your doctor and have your levels checked. It made a huge difference when my numbers got back in line to where they should be for a 40 yr old male, vs where I was.
Side effects, on injection days I get a knot at the injection site that stings for about 2-3 days. There are other options if you don't think you can poke your own legs. The gel you rub on your shoulders was not pleasant and a bad idea if there are any ladies in your household. (Last thing you want is to give your wife and daughters is testosterone unless you want to have bearded ladies in your home)

I'd make an appointment with your physician. There are a dozen different reasons you are feeling fatigue...Low T is probably one of the least likely given your age.
Also, Get a prostate cancer screen before trying to boost your testosterone through pharmaceuticals or supplements. Testosterone is like pouring gasoline on a fire for someone with prostate cancer or even an elevated risk of prostate cancer.
Diet and exercise work amazingly well. Good luck!!
