I've heard that weight balance is simply to do with energy intake vs. the amount of energy you burn. How come then, some people can seemingly eat more than others and not get as fat? I don't do much exercise and am still skinny.

You have a faster metabolism than other people.

What you have heard is correct, and what is confusing the issue for you is that some people use more energy just being alive than others. This is called metabolism, and metabolism describes the energy used to keep your body alive (breathing, digesting, temperature regulation, etc), some people have a faster metabolism than others. If you are lucky enough to have a quick metabolism then be thankful for that, but also be aware that as you age your metabolism will slow down. You may also be a person that is active without actually doing what you consider to be exercise (such as walking more quickly, living in a house with stairs that you go up and down regularly, that type of thing).

Genetics mostly. That and age, gender, metabolism and general health all play a roll in the matter.
