portliest

Heaviest of all

Portliest is the superlative form of portly, meaning the most portly—having the largest, heaviest build among those compared.

Portly suggests a stout, round figure, typically applied to men and often carrying a dignified or prosperous connotation rather than simple fatness: He was the portliest of the three brothers, with a belly that preceded him into rooms.
