I should think that explains it as I am sure your diet is spot on, knowing you from old and considering you have kept up the leg exercises it wouldn't be a loss of muscle necessarily.

Quickest way to get this back according to research I have read is high reps, low intensity, high volume squatting, so something like 20 rep squats would be perfect, try 6 sets and then finish with SLDL and thats your whole leg workout!
