It basically means you inherit fat genes from your ancestors. It has been known since 2007 that a gene called FTO was related to excessive weight gains and obesity. It wasn’t until scientists at MIT and Harvard University (published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2015, I think) discovered that a faulty version of the gene causes energy from food to be stored as fat rather than burned.

it means that the fat will get passed down to their offspring. If the mom or dad are fat, then it's likely that the child will be too.
