I have been on a long journey from 25+ % bodyfat to 11% and also packed on a lot of muscles. Now, I never feel satisfied, but there is a point where it is sane, to let it go.

But I don’t want to give up working out. I like it too mucu for that. What could be some new goals, that don’t interfere with my gains. I want to keep them.

    When I started lifting, I was in my early 20s, when I had similar goals as you and a tremendous amount of free time.

    By the time I hit my “target”, life started getting busy and my free time was replaced by various obligations.

    For me, the desire to continue lifting shifted from a goal body to having an hour a day that was 100% mine. Maybe that could work for you as well.

    The ever-present fear of losing all your progress also helps.

    You can look into some performance goals. Do you want to train for a marathon or Ironman? Do you want to compete in powerlifting? Or maybe take up a team sport? These can all give you goals and targets to keep you moving.
