Just to let you know, this is just my guess but I am pretty sure this is right. So here it goes: It depends on what dog you have and what their age is. It also depends on their personality Some dogs will still continue to wag their tails and some will slow it down. Hope this is helpful to you!

∙ 13y agoJust like with humans, it depends.
On how many calories the dog is ingesting every day.
On how much exercise the dog gets every day.
If there are any underlying medical conditions.
And it depends on what you mean by "with age"? Are you talking the difference between a 1 year and a 3 year old dog, or the difference between a 10 and a 13 year old dog?
But basically, just like with humans, as a dog becomes a senior, muscle mass is lost which results in a weight loss.
Often, as mobility and activity are decreased, there is a greater chance for the dog to become overweight or obese, so it may seem as if the weight loss is insignificant, but more fat and less muscle is never a good sign.
Our black lab was a very powerful and large-framed dog weighing in at 130 pounds in his prime. By the time he was 15 and was euthanized because of progressing cancer, he was half that weight.
