Can’t speak for all of Europe, but I was in Germany for a couple weeks and I saw just as many fat people there that I see at home in America.

according to wikipedia the united states are 42.9% obese and germany 24.2%, what may instead be happening is either not being accurate in your headcount or that in germany obese people go outside more than in america or that maybe obesity is distributed differently, potentially similarly in both countries but you were only for example in rural areas in america but only in urban areas in germany

Or perhaps they were in a touristic area which had lots of Americans.

Check the actual calculation. In a study I saw about the most obese cities, the calculation was number of restaurants per square mile. So nothing to do with actual obesity.

Restaurants per square mile? That’s an obscenely stupid metric for measuring obesity.
