Too many calories, not enough activity, and sometimes genetics. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If you`re in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry.com, we`re here to help you.
If there is over eating behavior then it maybe related with mental condition such as eating disorder, anxiety etc. If they are not related with behavioral issues and purely because of genetic or physical reason then need to counsel pcp or other specialist.
