It does!
Sounds to me like that you have a penchant for Hyperpear (though, what counts as “hyper” in this case is somewhat subjective).

I think I’d say bottom-heavy? Though my ideal would be bottom-heavy but still with a big belly.

That’s a very good shape, but I’m not sure if it has a specific name. It’s a pear shape of sorts, that’s for sure.

For me, the favorite figures are those where the stomach and hips are dominant; they both should be evenly distributed, or one should be larger than the other. I treat large breasts with disdain, considering them more like the moon that blocks the sun for a sunflower. Although, in order to increase weight from a small size to a larger one, I allow a small increase (just to emphasize that the transition to a larger one is taking place)
I didn’t just highlight my hips, I neglect my butt, which is certainly not bad, but the priority remains on the hips

Interesting approach, and very well-reasoned. I salute you!

I should’ve explained earlier, but I wanted to hear everyone else’s opinions first.
Here are some of the distinct bodyshapes I’ve categorized under the umbrellas of the general categories:
- Top-Heavy
- Strawberry: the classic top-heavy shape, with the main focus being on the breasts upper torso and upper arms.
- Lightbulb/Dairy Cow: a more extreme strawberry, with a greater focus on the breasts.
- Funnel: a more complex shape where weight tapers off towards the lower extremities of the body. Otherwise, its fairly balanced.
- Middle/Belly-Heavy
- Apple: classic belly-heavy shape, optionally with big breasts as well, though the focus is clearly on the belly.
- Orange: Even more extreme belly-focus, often with a notably round belly, and optionally cellulite (“orange skin”) on the ass and the upper back of the thighs.
- Barrel: the fat distribution of the body tapers off towards the top and bottom, making the body’s midsection the widest, giving it the contour of an old-fashioned wooden winebarrel. The body is widest at the waist and belly.
- Bottom-Heavy
- Pear: the classic bottom-heavy shape. The body is widest around the ass/hips/upper thighs, with fat distribution tapering off towards the top. The hips can be naturally wide, and the shape often comes with thunderthighs to support it. The “Hyperpear” variant refers to a particularly wide-set and heavier version of the pear, where the body might be as wide, if not wider, than it is tall.
- Iceberg: an unbalanced, extreme version of the classic Pear, where the upper body (roughly above the midriff) appears to be of a considerably lower weight, while the lower body (hips, ass, thighs, calves, feet) are disproportionately fatter, almost giving the impression that the two halves of the body are actually from two different bodies, merged together.
- Bell: a more balanced version of the Pear, where most of the body bellow the breasts gains most of the weight, but the weight then tapers off around the upper chest and shoulders. The arms and legs are also fat, and the contour of the body becomes akin to a bell, hence the name.
- Balanced/Hourglass
- Balanced/Shapely/Voluptuous/Venus: a highly idealized bodyshape where most of the weight is distributed to “all the right places” (breasts, ass, hips, upper thighs, belly).
- Fat Hourglass: classic hourglass shape, but fat. The weight is primarily distributed to the breasts, ass and hips. The “Hyper Hourglass” variant refers to an extreme version of this weight distribution.
- Shortstack/Fatstack: hourglass, but tiny. There are shortstack versions of all other shapes as well, but the classic shortstack is typically hourglass-shaped.
- Chalice: a top-heavy fat hourglass, where there’s a heavier emphasis on the chest and upper body surrounding it, but the ass and hips are still big enough for it to be recognized as a hourglass.
- Cello: a bottom-heavy fat hourglass, where there’s a heavier emphasis on the ass, hips and upper thighs, but the breasts are still big enough for it to be recognized as a hourglass.
- All-Rounder
- Generic/Slab-Sided: the body gains weight all over without any asset becoming pronounced. The “default” fat shape.
- Rolls and Folds: the body gains a myriad of rolls and folds all over, making the body resemble a deflated Michelin Man.
- Blob/Meat Mountain: All-Rounder, but BIG. While other bodyshapes have their blob variants, the classic blob is typically an all-rounder. Notable variant is the “Pancake”, where the blob spreads out horizontally, and gaining very little (if any) height.

To give more examples of what I like here’s a picture of what I like for hourglass/balanced with Centi
Not too extreme for her hourglass figure but still apparent. Another way I like it too is with this character too from the same game, Elegg
On the more balanced side, I think Poli is closer to what I like from Nikke
I also like Bready’s body type as well

One thing to add to this, the iceberg body type also known as extreme pear is heavily under utilized due to it being confused with hyper ass, even if it’s blatantly different.
It’s the prime case of “it all goes to my thighs” plus any of the benefits/traits such as catfishing, mobility struggles, stuckage, waddling, etc that associate with your typical fatty, but now it’s fully highlighting just how large the lower body is since relatively the upperbody is mostly skinny/thinner than the lower half. A pudgy waist that just sinks into a huge fupa and doorblocking hips. Maybe skinny gaunt petite arms struggling to heave a pair of tree trunks of legs, it adds a helplessness to the weight gain too since the character just keeps getting more unathletic which increases the problem whilst also making the main issue less aparent if it is kept hidden. It also is aided that to the surprise to some, even if it is a lesser extent yet possible physique can actually be found in real life with cases such as lipedemia.

You’re quite right!
I should’ve mentioned that there are also heavily specific forms of weight gain, where it literally all, or mostly goes to just one part of the body - belly, breasts, ass thighs (not in the Squidward way, I mean LITERALLY just thighs and maybe to the calves, with no hip or ass growth), and so on. But these are such extreme cases that they sit on the border between bodyshape and pure expansion.
Thanks for the invaluable information, now I have become much more knowledgeable on this issue

The best tells are additional heft in other segments, like the stomach isn’t completely flat but is rather pudgy, with slight lovehandles, thick knees that connect to calves that are girthier closer to the thigh but begin to get thinner as they reach the ankle

Exactly! The tapering off is still present, but so subdued that if you were to view the bodyshape just from the belly up, you’d be mistaken to think they’re just a bit chubby. It’s more obvious from the knees down, since the calves and feet have to support all that thigh and ass.

To add a final remark, the more disproportionate it is, the more staggering the whole heft of the lower body feels. The idea that someone could have an upperbody so slick, petite and graceful to just an absolute pile of pudding padding that makes it look as if they had never had something less than a double serving. It’s boosted greatly by the neet archtype, since you could have someone with a distinguished refined appearance hide a grotesque lifestyle.

There’s also the opposite direction, what if the grace isn’t lost what as if heft is added to the sheer contrast it remains elegant, giving it a sense of grand royalty, abundant mass to indicate abundant riches. It makes it all so much rewarding that as they grow bigger they also grow sluggish. Giving this sense of spoiled richness which isn’t obvious unless you look somewhere else beyond the face front, similar to catfishing, but the premise isn’t that the heft is hidden but an accesory that most don’t notice unless it is actively shown.

And finally there is the sheer struggle of it all, how do you stop this weight gain? It’s not like doing abdominals is gonna remove the heft, the fat isn’t growing there, you can’t build muscle on your arms to remove this, it’s all leg work. Yet how do you even do those, when each leg is bigger than an obese woman’s waist. And how do you even find fitting clothing, leggins that struggle to go past the hips yet slip down because there’s not enough waist for them to cling to, dresses that need to be the length of a curtain, with cloth that expands at an angle from a shirt to a full on table cloth. No belly to get in the way but how much can you do anyways? Even something as trying to put on shoes would be a struggle without slipping onto that massive rear due to the uneven distribution of mass.

It kinda reminds of those crinoline petticoats women used to wear, that gave the impression that their hips flared out wildly beneath their skirts (but of course, in reality, it was just a wireframe designed to keep the skirt in a preferred shape - you still see it in some bridal dresses today).
Now, on the notion of clothing, pants are out of the question, but skirts are doable, even if they have to be the size of a small tent.
Panties, however? Good luck! You might as well put pasties down there, and you’d have an easier job covering up her nethers.

Arguably the closest thing would be a g-string thong due to the ability to add extra string. Also pants could still be an option but it would be the kind with hooks on the seams that instead of being worn into from the waist out the leg holes instead are just wrapped around the area of the lower body
