Must Be Some Truth To This Gene

I am 47 and my brother is 46, both have the same parents and he is very thin like my mother and I am obese just like my father. He drinks beer and eats chocolate and other fatty food, I do not drink beer but I do eat chocolate and fatty food. Both of us have similar exercise patterns, which is not much. There must be some reason why he can burn calories quickly without putting on weight and I do not burn calories, I put on fat around the abdomen easily while he has none at all. It is not an excuse for being obese, but any understanding of why some people stack on weight and others do not must assist all of us in the long run.
