Well, assuming you did, let me tell you that there are exceptions. I am a 400lb man living in a 6'2" 188lb frame. Obesity runs in my family and I was about 265lbs after college, but even then I "watched" what I ate. After my kids were born, I decided I wanted to see them have their own kids, and lost the weight and mostly kept it off (I've snuck up 15-20 lbs over the years and then dropped back down).
BUT, I can put on 20lbs in two weeks easy, and put on a 100lbs in a few months if I ate whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted. Most days of my last 40 years have been hungry days. I stopped eating breakfast about 20 years ago, and 5 years ago stopped eating lunch. Now at 66 years old, I eat once a day, but I'm still below 190 lbs and I feel great.
Fonda could have very well packed on 100lbs in a year or so.

Obesity runs in family because of lack of education on proper nutrition and genetics can play a role it is not the "cause" it's something people like to use as an excuse.
Unless they have some type of medical issue will not be near obese if they have eaten a proper nutritional diet.
As I said before I have been involved in research for over 3 decades which is related to human diseases especially to do with the likes of metabolic functioning.
You don't lose weight it's fat (weight is the term mainstream uses it's incorrect weight can be lost through breathing, going to toilet etc)
People are only suppose to eat once a day unless you are very active and may require to eat twice.
Lets see you do strict Carnivore diet your results would be very different.
66 is tough one because you are female correct so hormone wise you are fighting a battle and depending on the numerous other diets you have tried you may not be in best health gut wise.
100ibs is a lot to gain in 1 year this would require as mentioned before health issues or some one is consuming a lot with almost 0 activity (mostly mixed macro foods fat/sugar processed foods)

I am not female. My health is as close to perfect as one can be at 66. My only med is a 10mg statin. My blood tests are almost textbook and I still work out and my wife and I walk 3.7 miles several times a week at the town trail near out house.
Obesity is part behavior and part genetics. My old business partner could eat like a horse and did. He had that type of physique that looked like his skin and muscles were stretched tightly over his skeleton. When we went to lunch, I would have an undressed salad with undressed tuna - just a glob of cottage cheese with anything resembling a carb and black coffee. My partner would get a cheeseburger and fries and put two sugars and cream in his coffee. He would usually get pie of some kind. He never gained an ounce in his life and still hasn't.
I played golf, softball, and bowled and he sat home watching sports and drinking beer and still is thin as a rail.
Did you ever see the products they sell so people can put on weight? Yep, it's a thing. Some people are just lucky (I wish that was my problem).
I wasn't born with that same metabolism as my partner was, but I can assure you that adding 100lbs in a year *for me* would be a sucker shot.

If you are taking a Statin you are not in good health.
Those things are poison.
No such thing as textbook blood work the numbers are made up for the ranges they use (A medical professional doing job correctly will build over time a profile for yourself)
Most of the skinny people who eat as they please are not in good health it is an issue with current society plus health service they use BMI which is another invalid metric to use.
A large % of these people I have seen throughout the years inside was in awful shape and later on Skinny Fat.
Nothing to do with luck.
Products for everything now days because people want quick without much effort fixes.

What you are saying now....
"Obesity runs in family because of lack of education on proper nutrition and genetics can play a role it is not the "cause" it's something people like to use as an excuse.

To what you were saying then....

Not really....eat too much of the wrong stuff with no exercise and weight gain can happen quite quickly.

No.
It takes a while to gain mass."
Talk about moving the goalposts.
