      - Taking in more calories than you burn in daily activity and exercise — on a long-term basis — can lead to obesity. Over time, these extra calories add up and cause weight gain.
        
        But it’s not always just about calories in and calories out or having a sedentary lifestyle. While those are indeed causes of obesity, some causes you can’t control.
        
        Common specific causes of obesity include:
        
        genetics, which can affect how your body processes food into energy and how fat is stored
        
        growing older, which can lead to less muscle mass and a slower metabolic rate, making it easier to gain weight
        
        not sleeping enough, which can lead to hormonal changes that make you feel hungrier and crave certain high calorie foods
        
        high stress, which may trigger the production of hormones that cause you to eat more and store more fat
        
        pregnancy, as weight gained during pregnancy may be difficult to lose and might eventually lead to obesity
        
        Certain health conditions can also lead to weight gain, which may lead to obesity. These include:
        
        metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors that include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high levels of triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol, and excess fat around your waist that raise your chance of developing certain serious health conditions
        
        polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that causes an imbalance of hormones called androgens
        
        Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare condition present at birth that causes excessive hunger
        
        Cushing syndrome, a condition caused by having high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) in your system
        
        hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough of certain important hormones
        
        osteoarthritis (OA) and other conditions that cause pain that may lead to reduced activity
        
        Certain medications can also raise your risk of weight gain. These medications can include:
        
        corticosteroids, which may treat autoimmune disease
        
        antidepressants
        
        antipsychotics
        
        beta-blockers, which may treat high blood pressure this is from
