abhisar · Answer

There is ongoing research to find out correct sequence of incidences in insulin resistance related obesity. Probably one of them arises first, and tends to cause the other; or that insulin resistance and excess body weight might arise independently as a consequence of a third factor, but end up reinforcing each other. But it is often seen that both are present simultaneously in patients diagnosed. 

Therefore some doctors also consider obese people at higher risk of insulin resistance !

abhisar · Answer

So in nutshell it is not clearly known what causes what, but it is for sure that both are often seen together
