My mom actually remarked that losing weight after menopause was, in some ways, easier than during her reproductive years. While her overall rate is slower, she has many less cravings and scale bounces associated with the cyclical nature of sex hormones in women. She can also use intermittent fasting much more comfortably than when she was younger. As long as her calories are low enough and her starch and sugar content is very controlled (she doesn't handle cravings well so keeping them at bay is the best idea) losing weight has gone very smoothly for her. She could lose it faster when she was younger, sure, but keeping it off was much more challenging for her than it has been now.
I'm still reproducing, so my battle is with constant hormonal gains with birth and nursing - part of me would love some stability there, but oh well
