Genetics, poor eating habits (eating too many carbs), eating processed foods and lack of activity/exercise are the primary reasons. If you really want to help her make sure you are living a healthy life and set a good example. Then, find a bariatrician who can help by going to: https://obesitymedicine.org/find-obesity-treatment/
Major culprits are high calorie diet and lack of exercise. Kids need five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and 60-90 minutes of exercise each day
