I want to start off by saying, you look great! Seriously! If I had to guess your age I would say mid 30s. Our clothing can make us look awesome or really bad. I think it was probably your clothing that made you look like a "little old man" to your stepmom. Perhaps you should find a fashionable friend (or even your wife) to help you buy some new clothes. "Younger" clothes would make you look younger (if that is what you want). Is your stepmother overweight? Is it possible for her to be jealous or uncomfortable about your new look and she was lashing out? People are always going to be critical. You look great and feel healthy, so let it roll off your back and move on!
