There are many reasons for obesity. In normal way we can say obesity is deu to your eating habbit and daily life style. Today in India most of the people are moving towards fast food. Wafers, French fries, Burger, Pizzas....

Not only food habbit but they have changed their life style also. People dont want to walk even for short distance.
Now if scientifically i say
there are following reasons for obesity
Causes of Obesity
There are many factors that contribute to obesity; these could range from genetic factors to depression. Obesity may be caused due to the following reasons:
Genetic factors
Genetic inheritance probably influences a person's chance of becoming fat more than any other factor. These genes enhance the storage of fat when food is limited and cause an increased risk of obesity when food is abundant and energy expenditure is reduced.
Eating Habits
Certain eating habits of people may lead to obesity.
Nibbling between meals is a potential cause for obesity.
Some people consume food faster, without enough time to chew, therefore tend to consume more food.
Obese people respond to external cues to eat rather than internal hunger signals. They eat when it is mealtime or when they are surrounded by tasty foods instead when they are hungry. People tend to overeat when they are depressed or in order to avoid wastage of food.
Physical activity
Obesity is found in persons who lead sedentary lives and pay less importance to physical education. Though obesity can occur at any age, this is more common during middle age when physical activity decreases without corresponding decrease in food consumption.
