My mother is 65. she has gained a lot of weight. she sitts and does nothing all day. could this be sedentary? what are the symptoms of sedentary?

Yes: That is the definition of sedentary. It is important to rule out depression or medical conditions leading to enforced inactivity thereby rendering an individual sedentary.
