Good sleep (not binging) helps too.
Anecdote:
I played lacrosse in HS and lifted. In college, I didn't do much except lift and my weight fluctuated but I could always cut.
As an adult, I always put on weight in the winter and cut for summer. But as I got older, it became harder.

I'm working hard to shed the 15lbs I put on the last 4 months.
