Without taking into account 'health problems' that may cause weight gain, weight gain is caused by your calorie intake being greater than your calorie output (Activity / Exercise). Bad diet, the wrong foods, or an unbalanced diet exacerbates an un-active lifestyle. There has been one or two (very unpopular) studies done that link weight gain to the use of Air Conditioning. There seem to be two factors involved, 1) People stay indoors when it is hot out, and are therefore less active, and 2) The exposure to 'cold' (instead of the heat / cold cycle that is normal) increases the production of "brown fat" in your body. (Brown fat "Brown adipose tissue" acts as insulation against heat loss, and is normally the first fat to go when you are exposed to heat).

Additionally, genetic factors and hormonal imbalances can also play a role in weight gain.
