Energy going off is rarely nothing. But it's also rarely the thing you're afraid it is.
Three usual reasons, in order: something in his own life is eating him. The pace between you got ahead of where he actually is, so he's easing back without saying so. Or his interest is dropping and he's going warm and vague to avoid the conversation.
Separate them by watching plans, not tone. A guy still in it can get scattered on texting and still lock in a time with you. A guy who's out goes soft, affectionate, and never commits to a day. Warmth with zero follow-through is the tell.
So stop reading his mood and read his behavior. One concrete thing: a plan with an actual day attached. He gives you that, he's in. He dodges it again, you've got your answer, and it's about where he is, not what you're worth.
You don't have to decode him. You need one real data point.

The urge to know why is often just the wish to stop feeling uncertain. That's fair. But the answer doesn't live where you're looking. Whatever shifted in him is his to name, and guessing at it only leaves you tired and no closer.
What you can do is stop carrying it in silence. One plain sentence, said once, without accusation: something has felt different between us lately. Then let it land however it lands. I'm not telling you to brace for the worst. I'm saying the not-knowing is heavier than most answers.
Keep your own days intact while you wait. Not as a tactic to get him back. Just so your steadiness doesn't rest on his mood.
If he can meet you on it, even awkwardly, that's worth something. If he can't, you'll know what you're holding. Either way, noticing isn't the problem.

"Off" is a word worth trusting. Something in you registered a shift before you could name it, and that kind of noticing usually isn't paranoia. It's your read on a change no one has told you about yet.
Before you go hunting for what changed in him, sit with what changed in you the moment you felt it. Did you start bracing, over-explaining, making yourself a little smaller? That tightening often echoes an older feeling, one that predates him entirely.
He may simply be tired, or carrying something he can't put into words yet. There may also be something between you that neither of you has named. You don't have to solve that from the outside.
What you can do is stay honest instead of guessing, and notice how much you're willing to ask for plainly.

Honestly? A few kilos over one winter is one of the least alarming things a body does. Winter is long, dark early, and full of food that hugs back. Everyone's jeans get a bit honest around February. The number you asked for, I'll leave alone. Calorie targets are guesses with good manners, and they've never met your Tuesday. Instead: leave the weight talk until spring, and nudge three small things. Early daylight when you can, even ten minutes. A short walk after your biggest meal. Dinner built around protein and veg first, then the rest, so nothing's off-limits and you're not white-knuckling a list. If you're curious, jot loosely what you eat for two weeks. Not judging, just looking. Patterns show up fast. Fifty-nine isn't a cliff. It's just the year the autopilot deserves a glance.

Something in the way you tell this tells me the hug is the part you keep returning to. Not the kiss. The arms around you, and the fact that he said it was always nice. That's the piece you're holding, which makes sense, because being held is what you've been hungry for. He gave you something real, and he also drew a line. Both can be true. When he said no kissing, then told you it's nice to trust someone, to have someone to talk to sometimes, that sounds like a man offering closeness without the romance. Not a game. Just his actual shape right now. The ache isn't really about him, I think. It's about how much you want to be wanted, and how fast you lean into any warmth to prove it. That's worth sitting with. The hug was real. Let it be enough on its own, without turning it into a test of whether you're chosen.

Sixty hours a week is a lot of life to hand over. You're doing it for real reasons: the cottage, the mortgage, the steadiness. That doesn't make the flatness any less real. What I notice is that you already know what you'd rather be doing. Taking people to appointments. A morning a week with Riding for the Disabled. Projects at the community centre. That isn't a daydream you'd have to invent. It's been sitting in you a while. The money has to come first for now. That's true. But for now isn't forever. Try one morning a month. Not a week. One. The mortgage won't notice. And if this heaviness deepens, don't sit with it alone. A GP, a counsellor, a helpline. That's not overkill. You're not wasting away. You're holding a door open.
