skinniest
Least fleshy one
Skinniest is the superlative of skinny—the thinnest or most slender of a group: the skinniest kid in class, the skinniest jeans I own.
Like skinny itself, skinniest can sound unflattering when describing people, suggesting unhealthy thinness rather than attractive slimness.
