Explanation

Even if you eat well and exercise, you might still gain weight. This can happen because of genetics, which means some people are more likely to gain weight because of their family history.

Another reason is hormonal changes. Hormones in your body can change how you gain weight. For example, some hormones can make you feel hungry even if you don't need more food.

Also, your body's metabolism plays a role. Metabolism is how your body uses energy, and some people have a metabolism that makes it easier to gain weight.

These factors can make it hard to keep weight off, even if you try to live a healthy life.
