Definition
富态 is a polite euphemism used to describe someone as stout or portly, especially middle-aged or older people. It carries a positive connotation, suggesting the person is well-fed, prosperous, and content — much more flattering than the direct word 胖 (fat). Use it when you want to compliment someone's plumpness tactfully.
