If it’s obesity then it might be too much weight, the muscles responsible for breathing is your diaphragm and intercostal muscles the muscles in between the ribs if they’re not strong enough to lift that excess weight then you can’t take a full breath because it’s compressing too much causing way too much effort.

It depends what symptoms do you have? Cough, fever, sweats? When was the last time you had a physical ?
