Fat people have a bigger fat layer around their muscles, but they do not always stay warmer. Many "skinny" people are thin because they are quite fit and have a lot of muscle; muscles make you warmer. If the thin person is thin because they are just undernourished and in poor shape, then the fatter person will be warmer.

Example: An obese person could have heart problems due to the extra weight carried around and lack of exercise (getting the heart rate down) but a thin person that doesn't eat well or could be Anorexic could have heart failure as well. Yes, thin people with poor diets can have terrible heart health and poorly regulated blood sugar, they just don't eat as much as it takes for them to be fat.
