You're right about the carb heavy diet contributing to later-in-life type 2 risk, but there is no "genetic propensity for obesity". Weight is 100% determined by energy intake. Period. End of story. There are no genetic conditions or medications that make a body defy the laws of physics. Not a single thing in the known universe can create or store energy without equal energy being added to the equation. Thermodynamics are infallible.
Eat too much, store that energy.
The only "genetic" factor would be a possible condition that makes someone feel hunger cues when they're not actually hungry, or satiety suppression. But they're still eating the food, even if they have a condition that makes resisting the urge to overeat difficult.
