I agree with diet and exercise being the current best bet.
With that said, I think a brain-computer interface that allows read/write will come along before we reverse biological aging.
When you can read/write thoughts or memories to a drive, whether in real time or during an induced dreamlike state, I think we'll have to seriously consider whether we want to keep living primarily within our bodies.

But I don't know if transfer of consciousness to another entity is immortality or just duplicating yourself? You know what I mean? It's like transferring your memories to an identical twin instead of you prolonging your life.

I follow you, but think about it this way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus
As I think about how my mind already makes new memories and erases or compresses others, I suspect it already works this way.
