Introduction Obesity has been a significant focus of research and endeavour for decades, with the goal of better understanding its drivers and implementing treatments to avoid body weight growth. However, obesity prevalence has continued to rise over time, and existing data indicate that the problem may become considerably worse soon. Problem Identification In many areas of the globe, obesity is now recognized as a leading cause of disease and early death. Over the previous two decades, the prevalence of obesity has tripled globally. As a result, evidence of the health and economic implications of obesity is reflected in dramatically increased prescribing across a wide variety of medications in primary care (Kostis et al., 2018). A conceptual approach shows that obesity factors are not well understood, and that communitybased service delivery does not appropriately address obesity. We need to fix our unfavourable attitudes and prejudice. When developing programs to promote healthy eating and physical activity, it is critical to incorporate tactics consistent with people's psychological and socioeconomic preparedness. As a result, members of the community, together with medical practitioners, need; (i) to recognize that obesity is partially a result of subtle changes in our lifestyles, such as decreased sleep duration and quality; (ii) to develop solutions that are accessible to those who most need them, such as individuals with low socioeconomic status; (iii) to improve the use of schools to promote a healthy lifestyle; and (iv) to alter community cosmetic standards, including a reduction in the obsession with leanness (Dharmaraja et al., 2020). Individuals, faith-based and other community groups, workplaces, and governments make up communities. A platform where all community members may debate the extent of overweight and obesity should be offered. Other issues to be addressed include the nature and sufficiency of available public education and treatment resources and present and future policies and initiatives to reduce community obesity. Consequently, local governments can help boost physical activity and nutritious consumption. They can work more closely with federal nutrition assistance programs to promote healthy eating and physical exercise. Governments can also fund public education, awareness initiatives, and therapy. Finally, individuals are the key to overcoming overweight and obesity. People may teach their children, other family members, acquaintances, and co-workers about a healthy diet and physical activity (Dharmaraja et al., 2020). Individuals may make the fight against obesity more personal and meaningful by openly discussing the strategies, problems, and rewards of living a healthy lifestyle. Conclusion Obesity is a complex disease associated with well-known issues such as an unhealthy macronutrient composition of the food and inadequate physical exercise. Additionally, it relates to additional non-traditionally recognized elements, the influence of which appears to be bigger than previously anticipated. In this regard, the present research underlines the need to consider the aspects mentioned above while addressing obesity at the community level. Finally, as discussed briefly above, there is a need for new paradigms that enable the relative value of human development vs. economic activity to be repositioned.
