Overweight is not a cause of unfitness for class 1 medicals any where in the world.
Only that you will be screened for associated diseases and investigations like blood sugar, lipid profile , Thyroid profile , USG Abdomen will be carried out. In case all are normal you wll be declared fit and advised to reduce weight.
By the way obesity is graded by the BMI method.
