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?

Imagine you’re super tired every day and you aren’t sure why. You can eat your normal amount but your body is compensating in the background. It thinks you’re going to be starving soon so it shuts down your energy expenditure. Your heart rate slows. You try to exercise but you’re really tired so you end up sleeping more. Suddenly that same caloric load is adding weight to your body.
Your body smart and has millions of years of evolutionary history to keep itself alive. Starvation is what it protects itself against best and it will override what your conscious brain wants in order to do that.
