The weight issue is ridiculous. Not everyone who is overweight pigs out on food, gorges on high sugar and carb food, or lives at McDonalds. My mrs is overweight, whereas I can't put on weight even when I try. I've even tried adding stuff to my diet to gain weight. We both eat more or less the exact same every day, which is coffee during the day with maybe a sandwich, or toast, and a cooked meal at night.
Truth is, we could both have much better diets than what we do, but we don't "overeat", and we eat very little junk food. She's not helped by being a heavy smoker and not doing much physical work. She works in an office, but in her younger working years did mainly labour jobs, including factories. Sure, she was lighter then than what she is now, but was never skinny. By the time you reach 45, life catches up to you. Grey hairs, wrinkles, and your body doesn't sit like it used to.
Me, I'll never be any heavier than what I am until the day I die. I sit anywhere between about 57 and 61kg, which is about 130lb for you non-metric people. 20 years ago my mates and I ate little else than Denny's, McDs, KFC and Burger King, and our diets at home were largely instant noodle and pasta/rice dishes. The sort of stuff you just add water or milk to, maybe throw in some frozen veges and meat and microwave. I was never heavier than I am now.
