Honestly, there can be a wide variety of reasons why you aren't able to eat as much as you used to. It can be as simple as your hunger has subsided, or to the opposite end of the spectrum (depression). You can try to think about what is potentially causing this to happen. Try to think back to when it began and go from there!

When you only eat a small amount frequently over a long period of time your metabolism can be affected and / or your stomach shrinks. This happened to me, by eating gradually larger amounts your stomach will eventually become larger again and your metabolism grow

Maybe your brain is struggling against something and it doesn't working properly. That's why you don't feel hungry.

Sometimes you can subconsciously develop an eating disorder without even knowing or wanting to. These types of eating disorders are generally associated with current or remembered traumatic events. The best way to figure out what caused your level of eating to diminish is by consulting a professional therapist.

your stomach may have shrunk, from eating less than you usually had, resulting in you now being able too eat less in general.

You may have been eating less recently, so your stomach might have shrunk. If you have't been feeling hungry, you obviously will have eaten less than normal, so you can't expect your stomach to be able to be the exactly the way it was before.

As we age our bodies slow down, we are no longer kids, we no longer burn so many calories and do so many things. our metabolisms slow down as we age, its completely normal, just try and balance what you eat with exercise and you should be good

If you have starved yourself before or just simply didn't eat as much, your stomach may have tightened a bit. When we eat lots of food, over time if we overeat our bodies get used to it and can handle the food without feeling pain. And for not eating as much food, our body learns that and so it learns to accept a smaller ammount.
