It's mostly because of diet ,indian diet is probably the worst in the world.

Even if you have a sedentary lifestyle ,if your diet is good ,you can still not be fat like east Asians and many European countries.

Unlikely it's just diet. Try bringing in a Western European with Celtic or viking blood. Feed the rice, and you wouldn't see them growing fat in exact manner as Telugus. 

Not necessarily Indian diet. Most of the Haryanvi and some UP food is extremely healthy. Lean Carbs, lean protein and you see muscular well built guys from that area.  Then you see Bihari hard labour guys who are not heavy built but study with no bellies. It's also about metabolic priming.

historically Indians work is  agrarian in nature; naturally when you are working in farms you tend to have more carb rich foods, unfortunately we never moved away from that carb heavy diet. our habits are probably worst we are never encouraged to be physically active asalu manaki physical activity ante cricket adatam(its not even that athletic sport) 

since green revolution we moved on to rice heavy diet, lekapotey our traditional diet was majorly millets. 

inka worst thing endii ante aa street food, easy access makes it worst , prati danlo mayo, butter (read it as margarine).

This is true. Because of guaranteed price  govt. for buying Paddy, Andhra particularly stopped growing other food crops as much and titles everything towards rice. Then polished rice took over and is seen as status symbol. Consequence Andhra has become a diabetes hub.

Indian men particularly those that do desk jobs, are vulnerable to gaining weight easily. With very limited physical activity and sitting postures and sedentary life style are prone to Back pain, ED (ERECTILE DYSFUCNTION), Osteoporosis and Spondylitis, Diabetes and Cardiovascular diseases.

Indians in general are genetically primed to store belly and hip fat due to multiple generations facing severe drought in India during British and beforehand during Islamic rule. This has changed how our body stores it's energy reserves compared to Europeans and say even East Asians.  Modern education in India made us Animals in farms where parents themselves doesn't know anything about body or care about it as long as you earn. Result is there to see.

Anna French Diet has lots of sugar too but what makes it different is portion control.
Middle eastern diet has lots of protein and less carbs (due to non availability) 
Mediterranean diet (considered as best diet) has balance of protein, carbs and fat. 
East Asian diet -- has lots of fish, veggies, and rice but again there is a portion control too. 
Indian Diet especially Telugu states lo tattedantha rice, curry, sambar, last lo finishing off with curd. we are too lazy to incorporate portion control and millets were long forgotten in our diets which was our staple historically.

Rice isn't the only problem ,it's the lack of other things .

where is lean protein in U.P diet. I will repeat again and again you will never get enough protein in veg only diet unless you purposefully include protein in it which most people don't care about and wont do.

Punjabis are well built compared to other people because they have gotten richer before others due to green revolution also their diet is  better compared to other states like gujarat but still bad.

Even young telugu guys are well built now because of better economic conditions and rapid growth in last 20 years .

Diet plays an important part , if not U.S people won't be that obese compared to their European counterparts like Germans.  

middle eastern countries like Saudi got obese after adopting American diet.

Just compare average menu of indian colleges and American colleges .atleast in south india you will get chicken/eggs frequently ,in north india you literally only get water dal ,one vegetable curry and one dry curry , even African counterparts will have better menus.

Almonds and cashews. They make paste and add other nuts and seeds to it. It's the best of protein coming from vegan sources. 

Punjabis are also stocky built due to their martial lineage being more recent than Telugus.

Portion control is secondary problem but most people don't eat enough of other nutrients ,especially protein .

In our house ,we used to eat chicken/fish almost everyday but many people I see eat kg rice, bucketload of sambar/rasam plus appadam and one veg curry as daily diet and these people belong to upper middle class - rich category and can easily afford good food.they barely eat non-veg 2 times a week.maybe egg once or twice.

Most people don't have enough awareness about balanced diet .

Eating surplus isn't the only problem, not spending it. High glycemic index foods make your body's insulin less sensitive and make your body prone to diabetes and will also accumulate fat a lot quicker then will result in Hepaticlipogeneisdyslipidemoa and hyper triglyceridemia.

This is why familial knowledge is to add GHEE to your food. It regulates the blood sugar levels.

These almonds ,cashews are good for complementing other protein heavy foods like eggs/chicken etc.. you need to eat 1250 calories of these/250 grams for just 50 grams of protein.thats 50-60% calorie requirement for a guy who doesn't workout.

Noone will eat that much it's not practical.

About 80% of muscle is water. Eating x amount of protein doesn't translate to Y amount of muscles growth, as your body can't absorb all of the protein at once even if you take it. 

Everybody has different protein needs based on the individual needs. Then there are different types of muscle fibres like slow twitch, fast twitch type II etc.  You don't need just as much hypertrophy but still can get insanely strong.

I am talking about baseline recommended amount.

my motivation was to be active for my kids, I was of thinking that I rather take my kids to ground and play with them; I don't like the idea them sitting and watching tv/ipad and I am scrolling insta infinitely.

Calorie consumption is different from protein consumption. Carbs and fat sources can be calories too. Even for a vegan he or she can get good amount of protein (slight variation in Aminoacid profile). Even then, you can substitute it with Milk, Paneer and Yoghurt which makes the AA profile complete.
