While some obese people can be genetically predisposed to obesity, the truth is that anyone could be affected by obesity.

If a person consistently consumes more calories than they burn off each day (determined by their basal metabolic rate plus calories burned from exercise) then they will put on weight. Should their Body Mass Index exceed 28 they are then clinically obese.
