Athletic Metabolism

So many athletic people get fat as they get into the middle years of
their lives, why is this? Can I prevent or lessen this change by
eating more now while exercising and transitioning slowly from a very
active lifestyle to a relatively sedentary one by eating less as I
work out less?
Thanks
