Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Your kid is definitely overweight. There could be two reasons for this.1. Endogenous obesity - due to genetic and family predisposition.2. Exogenous obesity - due to lack of exercise and over eating. I have a few questions for you - 1. What is her height now?2. What was her birth weight?3. From when did she start gaining weight like this (form what age)?4. How are her daily activities and exercising pattern?5. Are there any complaints from school about her academic performance?6. Is there any family history of obesity?7. Can you get back to be me with a chart of whatever she eats from morning till going to bed - on any average day?8. Does she eat a lot of snacks?9. How many hours does she watch TV per day? Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
