I don't know, looking at this obesity map[1] I don't see much of a difference between northern/southern states. If anything there are more southern states with extreme (35%+) obesity. Doesn't mean it doesn't contribute partially though. It's also very crude data.

Here's a graph with the prevalence of AC by region. It could also be related to the affordability of heat (my grandparents kept the house very cool). I have no idea if there's something to this, but interesting to poke at.
