For your age, it shouldn't be a significant motility issue. Focus mainly on diet 1) Adequate water intake 2) High fibre diet You can take soluble fibre supplements available in the market rather than taking stimulant laxatives
Next Steps
Consult a Gastroenterologist in person to exactly identify the problem
