It’s all genetics. Some people gain a lot of weight easily, some eat as much as they can but still lose weight.
I’m 5’7 and 130lbs. It took me 3 years to gain 30lbs. Gaining more is legitimately impossible. There simply isn’t enough time in a day to eat enough calories, unless I do nothing else.
I am 5’9", was 125lb, bulked at the request of my husband, wanted to get to 135 but ended up at 150. I’m sure my proportions are more conventionally attractive now but it does a number on my self image, I was so attached to being thin. Guess what though…
I feel better at this weight physically, if not mentally. Everything works, nothing hurts. I feel so silly complaining about being at a medium weight but it is more than I have ever weighed when not pregnant and it fucks with me.
Having got here, it seems to want to stick, but I’m 57, that was not true for me before my 50s and I guess I’m glad I gamed the system by starting out underweight?

I thought research said it is mostly how much you get calories and how much you spent, with genetics playing a smaller role
True, but consuming the calories isn’t as easy for everyone.
