Current theory suggests that there are inheritable traits that can make us more or less likely to develop overweight/obesity, but the big issue is with habits and not with genetics. The main cause for people developing obesity is poor eating and exercising habits. If your parents held poor diets and didn't get enough exercise odds are that you will be doing the same - and that is setting you up for overweight and obesity.

It does not seem to be inherited. But if it runs in the family, your doctor should be told this. He should up the dose of Folic Acid.

Some medications for the mother may have some involvement: anticonvulsants, perhaps diabetes, obesity or a high fever. It is not on the Y chromosome or any other chromosome.
