It is serious: He is in trouble over the long haul. He needs weight loss, knee exercises, cardiovascular evaluation. Please help him do this or with his overweight he will get worse knee degenerative arthritis. Every pound overweight is five more pounds when he takes a step. This will lead to more rapid damage to the knee. He needs to discuss these issues with his physician.
