How does someone get fat from having hormonal issues? Where does the fat comes from?

Question

As of my current understanding, you need calories to get fat, how can some hormonal issues lead to weight gain? Where does all the energy comes from?

Answer 1

They don’t. You get fat from consuming more energy than you utilize. Hormone imbalances simply make that calculation more complex, but it’s still the same math.
