As long as we’re accepting anecdotal evidence, I’ve gained and lost in a ~40lb range (~160-200lb) over the last few years according to essentially a very predictable ‘calories consumed minus calories burned’ model.
I don’t have a model that would be disconfirmed by your story.
I think the OP might have been partly motivated by a comment about some overweight being triggered by inflammation and there a bunch of inflammationary illnesses that do quite often result in weight gain.
Are you aware about how little some people’s weight chanages year to year and about the amount of calories that are needed for gaining a kilo of additional bodyweight?
Habits alone without a regulation system that tries to keep a certain amount of weight and influence it by hunger and other methods don’t seem to me capable of holding constant weight.

Nope, it was all about habits really. And how they lead to good and bad outcomes.
