I've been overweight a few times in my life. It's completely fine to have a sedentary lifestyle if you eat properly. I've completely stopped working out and exercising, and actually lost weight since I started teaching from home last year. Your two meals a day need to be smaller - or just eat 1 bigger meal instead. Weight/obesity is honestly not hard to fix. Just commit yourself to eating less than what you're eating now. Even if you exercised, you'd stay around the same weight.

I know it can be difficult to imagine, but even just 2 meals a day can be a lot. I have hypothyroidism - more than 1 meal a day tends to be too many calories for me, I'll genuinely feel incredibly bloated afterwards. You've gotta be willing to make changes in your life - your weight gain/loss falls entirely on you, at the end of the day.

But high blood sugar isn't something you can just fix by eating less - you'll definitely need to see someone for that.

Also, probably depends on one's metabolism too. My younger brother eats WAYY more than me and he's still thin af.

It really doesn't. All it is, is just calories in calories out. I have a slow metabolism as well, but at the end of the day, if I'm gaining weight, I simply ate too much. It can be incredibly hard to accept, but it is what it is.
