What were your sources?

CIA world factbook measure Indias obesity rate to be lower than japan’s, though the data is from 2016:

But that source contradicts OP. OP claims that India's obesity rate is significantly lower than Japan's, while your source shows them as being about equal.

Is it OP's position that an obesity rate of 3.9% is significantly lower than a rate of 4.3%?

Yes, in my opinion a 10% difference is significant. The source in no way contradicts that. If you believe 10% is not significant, that's just your opinion as well.

Ah yes I misread you.

OP seems to have overstated their claim.
