I've searched up online how much protein you should eat to build muscle but most sites can't give me an exact number some say 2 grams for every 1kg while others say 1gram and come to think of it what if a very heavy person like 150kg went to gym and started eating 2grams per kg everyday that's just too much don't you think ?
 
1-2g per kilo of lean body mass.
The average person who weighs 150kg likely has around 40% body fat, so they'd only need 90-180g per day of protein.
You can go higher if you want, but you're better off getting a calorie surplus with a balanced diet than you are taking supplements to try get more than 200g of protein per day.
 
If you're trying to get bigger then you should eat as much as you can force down your throat, but at 150 kgs you should probably cut down on the junkfood somewhat.

This.

A 150kg obese person is not going to gym to try build muscle.

And agreed on the eating a lot to get bigger. You can eat as much protein as you like, but if you aren't in a calorie surplus and eating enough carbs and fats you aren't going to see any gains.
