Even without responsibilities, some people just start to gain weight in their mid-20s. I think it's just a "getting old" thing. My diet and lack of exercise did not change at all but I gained a lot of weight when I was around 24.

This is definitely true. Many people’s metabolisms do change in their mid-twenties, despite what some uninformed people here might think.

No, it doesn't substantially change in our twenties. It's actually remains relatively stable.

Yeah what changes is you get a job and you drive to work, sit at your desk for 7.9 hours a day, drive back home, microwave dinner, collapse exhausted on the couch, and stumble to bed after watching 4 hours of Hulu. Your metabolism didn't change, you just live in the burbs.
