The other comments are mostly right, but not entirely.

No matter what you do, your genetics won’t change, that much is true. But your epigenetics (which genese are turned on or off and how strong they are) *can* change. And epigenetics can also be passed down.

But in regards to skinniness, lifestyle choices like diet and exercise are much more impactful than genetics or epigenetics.
