Not at all. The science is very clear and has been for quite some time - being overweight is bad for your health and increases all cause mortality.

I could link meta analyses about how strong the link between increased weight and CVD is as one example, but I don't think you're really looking to change your mind.

Instead I'll just make it as simple as possible. Increased weight = increased metabolic demand = more stress on the heart and other organs.
