These are my preferences in order.
Overweight? Over whose weight?!?
Fat is a simple descriptor.
I confess a preference for ponderous since my trip to the thesaurus. But that might not be generally understood and clarity counts I suppose.
fat
big
ponderous
gargantuan
large
weighty
broad
bulgy
husky
rotund
solid
stout
obese
hefty
plump
corpulent
thickset
burly
distended
fleshy
inflated
dumpy
butterball
jelly-belly
roly-poly
tubby
pudgy
overweight
oversize
elephantine
porcine
cow
blimp
lard
gross
