Perhaps Taboo
I've watched a wide range of manga and anime, from shonen to seinen, including isekai, battle, and slice-of-life genres. While there are many stories where middle-aged men are depicted as they are, I haven't seen any isekai or battle series where middle-aged women are portrayed as they are. They are either rejuvenated or depicted as beautiful and youthful despite being middle-aged. If you know of any works that feature middle-aged women as they are, please let me know.

There are quite a few strong characters who are grandmothers, but not many middle-aged women. In shonen manga, middle-aged women often symbolize peace and the home to return to, so perhaps they aren't typically put on the front lines to fight.
