Male, just turned 50 and can’t get weight off…help!!

As the title says, I turned 50 and have gained 25 pounds in the past few years. I am 6’-5” and went from 230 to 255. I’d like to get back to 230 or even 225, since I feel shitty at this weight, my knees and back ache a lot and I’m depressed that I cannot do the things I used to do and still want to do (hike mountains, ski better). In reading the forum, I have heard the CICO method works the best for consistent weight loss that you can stick with. The problem I find when I have a caloric deficit and exercise, I get really hungry during the day after. My typical exercises are 2-3 times a week, and consist of either a 30-45 minutes walk, 30 minute indoor bike, 45-60 moderate mountain bike or a day of skiing if it’s winter. I often get delayed headaches (like a few hours later or the next day) after doing these things and have been working with a neurologist, with some success. However, I think the extra weight is throwing off my posture or something, because I’ll feel really sore in the neck/back area even after a walk. And the extra weight makes me so winded going uphill. It’s so frustrating but I need help and guidance from you all as to what to do. I’ve tried for the past few years to eat well, watch calories and even cut alcohol. But I’ve lost nothing. I’m really at a loss for what to do, and I cannot live this way.
