Not only are there direct genetic factors but also indirect ones (e.g. causing decreased thyroid activity, or depression which is often treated with drugs that make you gain weight), epigenetic factors, and so on.
Also you’re wrong about “fat logic”: both your gut bacteria and they fat itself emit hormones that make you eat more fattening stuff. It’s literally harder for a fat person to eat less.
Biology is complicated, so there’s a genetic factor in almost any behavior. Of course even more so for someone survival critical like hunger.
A person who has more muscle will burn more calories just existing than someone with less muscle. Muscle growth is impacted by hormones and other factors impacted by genetics.
It is a lot easier to diet properly when you burn 1500 calories a day resting than 800 calories a day resting. Taking the right supplements can obviously fix this but someone with 150lbs of muscle can just follow basic nutrition guidelines and it is “easy”.
Hi, PhD in biology here: you’re wrong!

Hope you learned something.
Hi, certified dietitian with a PhD in physics here. You literally can’t gain weight while burning more calories than You eat.
You literally wrote “eat more fattening stuff”. No shit, You get fat from fattening stuff.
