podginess
Slight excess weight
Podginess is the quality of being slightly fat or chubby, suggesting soft roundness rather than serious obesity.
The word carries a gentle, almost affectionate tone: the podginess of a toddler's cheeks.
British speakers use it more than Americans, who might say pudginess instead.
