If you take in more calories than you burn you gain weight.Burn more than you take in and you lose weight.Take in and burn the same number of calories and you stay the same.It ain’t rocket science.

I don’t agree. My family and I are among the lucky ones——no weight problems,but I saw a woman at the beach once with an adolescent son and they were morbidly obese.
It was horrendous the way that they looked and I felt so sorry for them. There is no way they ate their way to that size.

“If you take in more calories than you burn you gain weight”
It is not that simple. Some people “take in” calories and “pass” many of them right back out again.
If two people eat the same food containing the same amount of calories, one of those people may have a system that is more efficient at extracting the calories from that food. The other person may pass more of those calories as waste. So if both those people burn the same number of calories one will end up weighing less than the other.
So it isn’t simple.
Of course, if you limit caloric intake to less than calories burned you will cause weight loss, that is true.
But you would need to limit it more in the first person I described and less in the second one.
Everyone will lose weight if starved.
