If it were only easy for everyone to change their diet.
Exercise, yeah, anyone with reasonable motility should be able to do that part. But it is difficult for people in many places to get healthy food to eat, so they eat unhealthy food.
Locally there is an area that has no grocery stores that serve it. It's a "bad" part of town and the population is disproportionally poor. So they eat processed foods from convenience stores and supplement with fast food for hot meals. For many it's difficult to take a bus 15 or 20 miles to buy groceries to feed their families. Taxis are too expensive.
For people with access to healthy foods there's no reason to be obese from overeating. If it's related to a medical condition that's one thing. But being fat just because is no excuse at all.
