say...what is your definition of fat? jk you could say no then a couple of days later invite them to the gym with you

As far as I'm concerned if you don't want to know, don't ask. Maybe I'm getting irritated by seeing this question so many times phrased in different ways but after this anyone asking me in real life if their butt looks big in this, they're liable to get an honest answer.

I'd say, how well are you eating and do you exercise much? If so, then, you're probably at the right weight for you. On the other hand, if you're not, I don't need to say anymore.

i will give him/her a honest answer

I'll answer "You are overweight, but there is nothing to it, unless it bothers you". I recommend not to use the word "fat", avoid to be blunt and unsensitive, and rest importance to it in that moment. You will be saying the truth without cruelty. Still, if your friend is obese, this kind of question may be the opening you need to talk about healthy eating habits.

We say that they are on the healthier side but we do not call them fat! We run stores wherein we sell plus size clothing and maternitywear.So we face this situation on a daily basis.

If it’s your partner then you never say the truth, you just say ‘I like your body the way it is’. If its your friend then you say ‘you might gain a little weight but I really can’t tell, I never notice things like that;p’

"Does it really matter to you? and if it does, why would anything I say change the way you see yourself."
-
I say yes, sorry if they didn't want to know they shouldn't have asked and wrapping them up in cotton wool like babies makes them oblivious to the weight they are gaining and saying things like 'oh, no you're not it's inside that counts' only makes them feel worse! Be truthful, your honesty could save their life.

To me you are not fat

Well, lying to them isn't going to help the situation, nor really is telling them the truth. I'd try "pulling a Palin" and completely avoid the answer. No, this doesn't mean suddenly jumping up and shouting, "LOOK! It's Russia!". Just say something like, "Well I'm no expert but I've been thinking about joining a gym to get fit, and I'd love a gym partner if you're interested in going." This way you avoid telling them they are fat (which, if they are, they already know...) and at the same time encourage them to pick a healthy way to lose weight.

Honestly, if they were like obese, I'd say... well it wouldn't hurt to loose a bit of weight for health reasons (always health reasons! lol) but I'd still love them for the person they are! (If I actually know them of course). If they are like, a little chubby, I'd say they aren't as fat as some other people or that they are healthy - not fat.
-
if the person is pretty fat, i'd tell them yes. odds are they know they're fat, and lying to them out of sympathy will just make them feel worse... tell them they'd feel great if they lost a bit of weight
-
Most people that are overweight know they are overweight. I don't recall anyone ever asking me that question unless they were way skinny and needed to eat. Everyone that I know that is overweight know that they are. Now I have had some of them ask me, can't you tell I lost 15lbs? I sometimes say yeah and sometimes I be honest and say no I can't tell...
-
If they are and you don't want to hurt there feelings ...Simply say they are BEAUTIFUL! just the way they are
