Yes and No.

Yes, weight is affected by gender.

For example, men have more lean body mass (muscle) and less fat than women. Lean body mass is more metabolically active and thus uses more energy (calories) than fat. So even at rest, men burn between 10 and 20 percent more calories than women.

No, being obese is not the result of your gender.

Even though women are more predisposed to gaining weight than men, this gender-induced susceptibility to gain weight does not automatically lead to obesity and does not account for the current obesity problem.
