pudgier

Rounder than before

Pudgier is the comparative form of pudgy, meaning somewhat fat in a soft, rounded way.

The word typically describes people or body parts with gentle mockery or affection rather than harsh criticism: He's gotten a bit pudgier since the holidays.

Pudgy suggests endearing plumpness more than obesity.
