That’s actually a [common misconception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions#Nutrition,_food,_and_drink).
>There is no evidence that obesity is related to slower resting metabolism. Resting metabolic rate does not vary much between people. Weight gain and loss are directly attributable to diet and activity. Overweight people tend to underestimate the amount of food they eat, and underweight people tend to overestimate.[376]
