That's pretty commonplace. But there are things happening that nobody tells you about. I can't fit into the pants I wore in my 20's anymore (not for a long time). But I don't weigh that much more. Being observant, I noticed that men over 30 simply did not have the slim hips that younger men do.
Googling it confirmed my suspicions - your hip bones grow wider as an adult, by a fair chunk.
I've also noticed my shoe size is larger as well.

Do you track your calories? Could be that with your aging you're moving less often and body is changing.
Either way, you're eating more than you burn. The important part is you're aware of the issue
My diet did not change, I rarely eat junk food, no sweetened drinks except tea, and I prefer vegetables over other food, and all my meals are cooked at home (no restaurant food, no pre-made food - not even cereal).
And yet, I keep gaining weight. I attribute it to eating too much of the healthy food I do eat, but I can't help it, I'm too hungry otherwise - but of course that doesn't really answer the question of why.
Oh, and if I exercise my hunger skyrockets and I gain even more.
