If you have a nasal blockage, that can cause snoring.
And weight gain is also the major factor for snoring as fat around the neck increases narrow the air passage.

Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound that occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe.
Next Steps
Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol close to bedtime or sleeping on your side, can help stop snoring.
In addition, medical devices and surgery are available that may reduce disruptive snoring.
