hi
since you are 62 years old so it's natural to have a decrease I libido
however some mehods are suggested to increase libido
one drug called addyi was approved by fda however it had side effect as it was basically an antidepressant in nature in form of weight gain etc.
Also asses you have generalised loss of libido or you are particularly cold towards a particular individual.
if you are married you should visit along with your husband to a sex counsellor.
Your loss of libido might be due to having pain during intercourse which might be due to loss of vaginal secretions leading to pain and subconscious loss of libido.
Try out lubricant, enjoyment with partner and some case it has found porn also found to excite women.
Wish you best of luck
