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?

Your body has a basal metabolic rate. The BMR determines how many calories you need to function, as well as how many to eat to gain weight. According to calorie calculators, it’s just based on height, gender, age etc. However, the BMR can vary between people. Hormonal issues, such as hypothyroidism can lower the BMR, which is why weight gain is a very common symptom.
