Speeding

I am 21 now and I really don’t eat any more or any differently or excercize any differently now than I did when I was much younger, yet I have gained significant weight since I was younger, i.e. I weiged less than 100 lbs when I was 15 and now I weigh 100 something. I still eat about the same amount and the same things and get the same excercize as I did when I was 15, yet I weigh at least 20 lbs more now. So is the reason people tend to gain weight as they get older because their metabolism naturally slows as they get older? Or is it because of something else, i.e. because you get bigger as you get older?

Our metabolism SLOWS DOWN, it doesn’t speed up. So we need to exercise more and take in less calories.
