Once again they confuse fat with curvy. Also, being fat, like really fat, not just a few extra pounds even for the nobility was rare and worth mentioning. That's why you know about the nobles who were fat, because people at the time were like "holy shit. This dude is huge even by noble standards I got to write this shit down, he's a fat fuck." Look at Henry VIII, people talked about him being that fat because it was so unusual. Doubly so because in his younger years he was in tremendous shape until he got hurt hunting.
