The true virtue is what kind of a person you are rather than whether you are a fat or skinny person. What good would it do you if you have the "perfect weight" and still go to hell?
But if you are fat because of Gluttony and Sloth, you go Hell, no?

No, it's not a mortal sin to be fat because of gluttony and sloth.  It COULD be a mortal sin if one neglects his duties of state from sloth, but just getting fat?  Hardly a mortal sin.

I understand your point but some say St Thomas Aquinas as well as St Theresa of Avila were a bit “round”.  St Padre Pio as well as some Friars at San Giovanni developed a belly in their later years.

We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.  Father Feelgood with the large belly, nice car and confey rectory may carry a heavier cross than you can imagine.
It's perfectly normal to put on a bit of a belly in middle age. That's not to say that it's fine to be obese, but this jumping to conclusions that everyone with extra pounds is a glutton is silly.

This is the dumbest thread of cathinfo’s history.
