    Many medical conditions and problems can contribute to weight gain. It is not always due to overeating.

    I have read its also because of genetics. But its fully the habbit of that person, if he/she can control itself, no obese.

    False:

    Some of the heavy people may have other issues:

     it is not always their diets...

    They could be health nuts and still be heavy.

    Some of the causes may be endocrinological, such as genetics,  metabolical, hormonal, or poverty driven.
