I think it is very doable to get back to where you were if you make the commitment and are consistent. I had a similar situation, but 50 years old, and did my first ramp test almost exactly one year ago(7/26/23) with a 227 FTP result. Followed TR plan through the end of last year and have had a coach since the start of this year as I am doing Leadville 100. Just did a final 20 minute FTP test last week resulting is 325 FTP (343 avg watts for 20 minutes) at 79kg. This is also higher than my FTP 10 years ago when I was racing. The success I attribute to being very consistent with following the plan with 12+ hours riding each week. Having history of riding I think has also helped.
