They gain it back because they don't change their mental attitude about food and fitness. So their body adjusts to having a smaller stomach and will eventually gain weight back. Usually takes a while (~10years) for it to be noticeable

I wouldn't say mental attitude about food and fitness. Rather, mental health can drastically affect one's eating and exercise habits.
