paunchier
Sporting more belly
Paunchier is the comparative form of paunchy, meaning having a more prominent belly or potbelly.
Someone who's let themselves go might be paunchier than he was in college.
The word carries a mild, often affectionate judgment about middle-aged spread or sedentary habits.
