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.
