Don't be a ****ing retard dude.
Environmental factors have an effect on gene expression. If your body gets used to getting fat then it becomes better at "laying it down". Unfortunately i don't have a link to the various articles i've read on this.
ALSO, epigenetics, aside. If you're a tubby little ****er when you're younger your lung capacity, heart size, and skeletal frame (for muscle attachment) will be under-developed in comparison to someone who is into sport when they're younger. As such you will find it more difficult to get fit in adult life if you're a fat kid. Funnily enough if something's hard to do less people will be inclined to do it which in turn makes it harder to get fit.
