is there other reasons than just having a big caloric intake

If you burn the same number of calories as the number of calories you take in, then your weight will stay the same.

If you burn more calories than you take in, you'll lose weight.

If you take in more calories than you burn, you'll gain weight.

Other teachers may have more specific information for you.
