For most people, these all mean the same thing.

Sometimes, the term 'big girl' refers to a girl who is tall for her age. It is quite possible to find an exceptionally tall girl who is not a fat chubby obesity. Similarly, it is possile to find a fat chubby obesity who is not tall, and therefore who is not a big girl in this respect. Often, fat chubby obesities do not move very much from their beds and spend much of their time eating and blaming their obesity on their big bones. By contrast, big (i.e. tall) girls rarely blame their height on the size of their bones.

Fat means to be overweight, obese means to be severely overweight.

If you are only 20 pounds overweight, you are only considered fat. If you are considered obese, you are usually 50-100 pounds overweight.
