Fatties look older for two reasons. One is that a fat face has less expression because the muscles are hidden under excess tissue. As people get older skin loses flexibility and sags, and fat on faces also sags, so both older people and fatties have less expressions.
Also we subconsciously associate fatness with older people as young people are generally leaner.
