They removed participants with childhood-onset obesity to control for this discovered factor being innate.
While this study needs further follow-up, it’s a good starting point to uncover more of the psychological/neurological effects of obesity.

Few three year olds are allowed to make their own food choices, and thus may be restricted in weight despite innate hunger due to the fact that adults are limiting their food intake. Not to mention that the US CDC measures childhood obesity as weighing above a percentile of the population, an even more tenuous measure than BMI.
