To be 60 stone in your thirties is a such as statistical abnormal achievement. Its really either a superheroic deliberate effort, or some kind of disorder. Kind of like how some people are thin and can then put on weight as needed, and other people have an eating disorder. Sure, someone who's overweight, but this such an extreme case, that it would be absurd to apply 'normal rules' to it, as its clearly a statistical outlier of abnormality. It takes roughly a calorie surplus of 3500 calories (actually kilocalories but we all tend to refer to them as calories)to create 1lb of fat. Say he started at 15 stone, he managed to eat a surplus of 2205000 calories and bearing in mind his TDEE would have increased as he got fatter (in spite of limited mobility) then he had to go some to create a surplus and put that weight on. I doubt very much that the reason was physiological and it was far more likely to psychological.
