fattish

A bit chubby

Fattish means somewhat fat or plump, without being fully or excessively so.

It's a mild descriptor that softens the directness of calling someone or something fat.

He had a fattish face and thinning hair.

The suffix -ish adds a quality of approximation, suggesting the subject leans toward fatness but doesn't quite reach it.
