No. The term "obese" refers to excessive body fat.
"Big boned" is an excuse for being fat that has nothing to do with medical fact. There is such a thing as "big boned," in the sense that some people have thicker bones than others, but it has very little to do with weight, which is related to caloric intake, the amount of exercise a person gets, and to a degree their age. (For example, a 160 lb. woman's bones weigh about 20 lbs. Not much excuse there.)
Bone thickness does not change after we become adults, although (as we all know) weight can change a great deal. Bone size is generally measured at the wrist. This writer, who is 6'3", has wrists so large that he cannot wear a normal watch band, at his ideal weight of 185 lbs.

"Big boned" is a polite way of saying overweight. The size of one's bones has no effect on whether you are skinny or fat. Anyway. If your stomach isn't flat, if part of you hangs over your jeans, if something jiggles when you walk... then you are too heavy.

It depends on the bone structure and height of the individual. If the parents are large boned, medium boned or small boned then the weight would fluctuate and the same with height.
