tubbiness

State of chubbiness

Tubbiness is the quality of being tubby—short, round, and plump.

The word carries a mildly teasing tone, suggesting chubbiness without harsh judgment: He's developed a certain tubbiness since retiring.

It describes bodies, not personalities, and implies softness rather than bulk.
