There’s no single cause of obesity. It’s often the result of many different factors working together, including:

• Genetics – Your family history can affect how your body stores fat and how it uses energy.
• Hormones and Metabolism – Some people have hormonal or metabolic conditions that make it harder to lose weight.
• Lifestyle Habits – Eating high-calorie foods, being physically inactive, not getting enough sleep, and high stress can all contribute.
• Medications or Health Conditions – Certain medications or illnesses can lead to weight gain.
• Environment – Access to healthy foods, safe places to exercise, and support systems can play a big role.
