"Obesity" is a noun. "Obese" is the adjective.
Adverbs often end in -ly, but with or without the -ly ending, their purpose is to modify a verb. For example, in "She walked quickly through the corridor," walked is a verb. Quickly describes how she walked.
Obese is never a verb, and it is not an adverb.
