I am 61 years old, have been weight training for 48 years. The more I train with weights, my bodyweight stays up. The only way I can lose on the scale is running and bodyweight calisthenics. Some light weight training can also be included. It is weird but I finally figured out what works for me.

Right, makes sense.  Of course weight loss isn't the exact correct metric for me, I should be measuring waist circumference.  But it's good enough.

The weather is beautiful here in Boston now.  I really need to start running 2-3 times a week.

I'm down from a high of 159 to 156.4.  If I put as much effort into weight loss as I do my portfolio, I should make it to my goal weight of 137 right?

I remember 137 but I was in college.
