It's not as easy to maintain as you seem to think. I'm the same age and have gone from being 225 at 18-20, as low as 170 at 22 and now back to almost 200 at 25. Excersise and eating right definitely helped me trim it off, and a lack of continuing that coupled with a retread to bad eating habits has seen me take a turn back.
So as you say "well just get up and go work out" or "well just eat healthy" for some people equates to telling a smoker to just stop smoking. Or telling a drinker to just stop drinking. These are the vices that we have to live with, some people's are different than others and just because you find it easy to choose between an apple and a piece of cake, doesn't mean everyone makes that decision so easily.
