Obesity doesn't cause heart attacks or early death, scientists say after comparing twins.
In fact it was the opposite. Over 12 years of follow-up, 209 of the leaner twins had heart attacks and 633 died. Meanwhile, 203 of the heavier twins had heart attacks and 550 died.
Visceral fat (the fat actually on and in your internal organs) is far more dangerous than subcutaneous fat (fat just under the skin). And the same source you posted mentioned that obesity is still a high risk factor for diabetes... which itself is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
But you can still be overweight and lead a relatively healthy lifestyle, and be far healthier than an average weight person who eats garbage and never exercises.

>One of those limitations is that the participants' height and weight were self-reported. If such data was misreported, this could lead to inaccurate findings.

I really doubt he lost that much weight in 6 weeks, and if he did that's very dangerous.
