chubby
This term carries a positive or affectionate connotation, focusing on a soft, rounded fullness that is perceived as endearing. It is most frequently applied to infants or young children to evoke a sense of health and cuteness, rather than to criticize weight.
Using this word for adults requires caution, as it can be seen as patronizing or overly informal. It differs from terms like obese or overweight by emphasizing the visual quality of being plump and soft rather than the medical or negative aspects of weight gain.
