What's cico? I'm pretty sure I am genetically different than most people because I can work out and lift heavy every every single day without ever getting sore or needing rest days. Most people can't do this especially people my age.

CICO means Calories In, Calories Out. If the two are equal, your weight will remain constant. If calories in exceeds the calories you burn, then you gain weight. And obviously, if calories coming in is lower than what you burn, you lose weight.
Even with a terrible diet, you can still maintain a healthy weight as long as you don't go overboard on the amount you eat.
I'm not saying exercise plays no role. It does burn calories and it has countless health benefits, so I would highly recommend it, but it's not really the driving factor for weight control. You can't outrun your fork if you're sucking in food like a black hole.

Well I'm certainly much more than simply a healthy weight. I'm in better shape than probably realistically 95% of the world population.

You're only 43..
Calories in vs calories out, basic concept of fat loss. You consume more than you expend and you gain (excess energy is stored as fat for easy future access), and vice versa. If you're truly a genetic wonder and the laws of thermodynamics don't apply to you, you should be researched; that'd be fascinating to look into.

I literally have to take a Gainer Shake every morning after I work out which is about 6 tablespoons of peanut butter, a couple scoops of protein powder, a cup of oats and a few tablespoons of olive oil. This will give me a quick thousand calories. On top of that I eat all of my regular meals each day. I still have a hard time not losing weight.
