girthier
Of greater circumference
Girthier is the comparative form of girthy, meaning having more girth—greater circumference or thickness around the middle.
The word applies to tree trunks, bodies, or anything measured by its width: The older oaks were girthier than the saplings.
Often used humorously or euphemistically about weight gain or body size.
