    As an adult, I’ve realized that although I can buy a cake any time and eat it, I don’t have the metabolism anymore I had when I was 16. Suddenly after hitting 25-ish, I gained the ability to gain weight and oh my god does it suck

      Sorry to be that guy but technically it’s not metabolism changes, whilst they exist they’re fairly minimal, it would’ve been a combination of still growing which uses a lot of calories plus teens and younger adults tend to be far more active and therefore burn more calories in a day too. It’s mostly that, not much of a change in metabolism.
