The historic Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was initially trained as a Prince in martial skills and sports which would give him an athletes body potentially with some extra weight. He spent years after starting his search for enlightenment as an aesthetic which removed almost all body fat. Having found a degree of enlightenment he followed the middle way which would include a moderate diet. He spent his teaching career walking around the countryside eating lightly. From all of this he would likely be fit not fat.
Many non-Buddhists think the fat "Laughing Buddha" in Chinese restaurants and such is a representation of the Buddha. He is actually Hotei, a Chinese folk hero/legend.
