I'm inclined to agree with you that it's just old age,but I have seen this indent before in Carp that were being feed abundant carbohydrates.These carp were in a pond and tourists would feed them anything they had (cakes, buns,and chips).Overfeeding and lack of movement in an aquarium leads to a pathological fatty infiltration.The organ that plays a key part in in the metabolic process ,is the liver,may degenerate as a result of adiposis(fatty dystrophy of the liver)and so provoke the death of the fish.
