wp_update_post not working

    I have a relatively simple custom post that I created with Pods (which I think is terrific). I am trying to programmatically update a post, which is something I’ve not done before. I’ve looked at quite a few examples, and it seems straightforward, but my code is not working. It is making the call to wp_update_post. I am also not getting any errors. I’m wondering if there is a setting or something else that is preventing the post from updating. Here’s the code I have:

    $donor = new WP_Query( $args ); 
$found = $donor->post_count;
if ( $found >= 1 ) {
    $weight = 188;
    $age = 22;

    while ( $donor->have_posts() ) {
        $donor->the_post();
        $update_post = array(
            'ID'     => get_the_id(),
            'weight' => $weight,
            'age'    => $age,
        );
        $ustatus = wp_update_post( $update_post, true );
        if (is_wp_error($ustatus)) {
            echo 'Error '. $ustatus->get_error_code() .': '. $ustatus->get_error_message();
        }
    }
}

    Thank you for any help!

    I’ll answer my own question … the fields need to go into a meta_input item.
    So, it would look more like this:

    $update_post = array(
            'ID'     => get_the_id(),
            'meta_input' => array(
                        'weight' => $weight,
                        'age' => $age
                       )
        );

    This is working for me, so I’ll consider it closed.
