“What's the difference between obese and overweight?”
I've been considered overweight for the past year and a half but after I gained a few more pounds, I'm considered obese. What's the main difference between obese and overweight?

A healthy BMI (body mass index) is 18-25. Overweight is 26-29. Obese is greater than 30. You can find BMI charts online.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) will determine what category you will be labeled and if your BMI is greater than 30, you are obese. If over 40, you are morbidly obese. And 20-30 makes you "overweight." You can Google "BMI" and find out how to calculate your own Body Mass Index.
