Chubby is often used to describe infants, babies, or children.
Describing an adult as chubby is Ok, but it can be a little insulting.
Instead, describe adults as being "heavy".
"She's a heavy girl."
"She's not thin, but she's not chubby."

Thank you. For me, fat or heavy feel negative, but chubby feel little cute. So, I thought I had better use "chubby"
