I'm 50 and my weight really started to drift up this year after a gradual rise since my mid-30s.

I agree that diet is the key - you can't exercise enough to make up for a poor diet. And by the time you reach 40 or so, you either have to have a really solid diet or you are getting chubby - it's that simple.

People had a lot of weight-loss success with the low-carb diets a few years ago. Unfortunately, it was a fad for most people, even the ones who lost more weight than they had ever managed to do dieting. It's true though - a good diet mostly involves minimizing or eliminating simple carbs, as delicious as they often are.
