Answer:

Its not just fat people though they are more prone to it due to their weight. Snoring is an airway obstruction. Modern research reveals snoring to often have more than one cause. These include the many factors that lead to nasal blockage such as nasal allergy or deformities of the nasal septum (the cartilage partition between the two sides of the nose) and other internal nasal structures. This nasal blockage can contribute to poor nasal airflow into the lungs and can in turn set the soft tissues of the palate (roof of the mouth) and throat vibrating. These vibrations cause the loud fluttering noise of snoring

Excess flesh in the back of their throat.

But you don't have to be fat to snore (I'm at the perfect weight for my size and I snore occasionally).

FYI: Skinny people snore, too.

i guess the majority of fat people snore, but so do a lot of skinny people. snoring happens to people when they breathe through their mouth and nose at the same time when theyre sleeping. i snore when im exhausted.

Snoring is usually caused by a medical condition. People assume that when fat people snore it is because they are overweight but normally there is a medical cause for it but they thing snoring is normal and don't get it checked at the docs office.

it's not just fat people who snore. my size appropriate 7 yr old snores and is having surgery to remove her enlarged tonsils and adenoids.

people snore for a variety of reasons (including above). other reasons can include a stuffed nose, neck out of alignment due to a pillow, drunk, allergies, and increased fat in the neck area.
