I don't know how old you are, I'm pretty young at 38. While in my younger
days I could also eat as much of any type of food out there without so
much as a single pound added. That's also what caused me to gain weight
in my early 30's. You see, I stopped playing Basketball, volleyball,
Baseball, and hiking due to knee troubles. Once I reduced those
activities I gained weight rather quickly.

It all depends on what you do during the day. I bet if you did what I do
now you would also gain weight. I also don't fidget or anything when I'm
idle, I'm steady as a rock and so I have no extra calorie burn either.
