Not always true. I lost a lot of weight due to health issues. Dr. has ordered me to gain weight. I now eat more than I want to eat and am unable to gain.

Your exception not only does not negate the rule, but is so collateral to it as to be inapplicable. Nevertheless, I am sorry to hear of your suffering and will pray for you. Everyone would love to eat as much as they want without gaining weight, but not at the expense of their health. Pax!

Less than 1% of obesity is due solely to somatic pathology (usually endocrinopathies).
Less than 1% of obesity is due solely to genetics.

Hence greater than 98% of obese patients have behavioral/psychological roots to their obesity.

About 50-60% of obesity is associated with genetic tendencies, but it remains that that proper diet and exercise behavior can overcome the tendency.

Hence, >98% of fatties have themselves to blame.
