Is it normal to just... fall off, and not be as good at gaming? Because I feel like I've been getting worse for a while now.

Same boat, turning 41 in a few months.

I still play a decent amount of games, but not like I used to, so I'm not as good as I used to be. Plus games are a lot harder in some ways now because on top of being mechanically good at the game, you have to understand the "meta" now and build accordingly since so many games are open world or have complex leveling systems. Back in our day, more games were linear and had far fewer "build" options.

I don't feel like games are as casual as they used to be in general. There are many more layers of complexity in the average game now than before. All that stuff adds up to games feeling harder for players that are less invested in them.
