Both contribute, but mostly it's over-eating. At a normal weight, consuming a normal amount of calories, most people can maintain a weight simply by the basic exercise everyone does most days (ie, walking around the house, walking dogs, etc) however if you are eating too much and not exercising enough then you will gain weight. It's quite simple really.
Think of it as a basic equation. What goes in must equal what goes out (exercise) to maintain a weight. If what goes in is less that what is going out then you will lose weight and if more is going in than is going out then you will gain weight.
To lose weight, decrease calories and increase exercise.
