For example as much as I eat I can barely increase my weight, while other people I know have to be super careful with what they eat to not gain too much

The body is an amazingly complex biochemical machine comprised of many different tissues synchronizing and working together. This current age of food abundance is very unlike any other time in human history. Most humans really wanted to gain weight if possible. Those who had metabolisms that were too high may have starved. Now though those with metabolisms too slow suffer.

Long story short how fast or slow someone breaks down and processes food generally defines how their body deals with food consumption. People may have a higher or lower natural ability to process energy, waste, and harmful things their body comes in contact with.
