склонность к полноте

inclination / tendency to corpulence

Examples from texts

Невысокого роста, плотный, с некоторой склонностью к полноте, он обладал чертами лица, не лишенными приятности, хотя, пожалуй, нижняя часть была несколько тяжеловатой, а нос чуть более заострен, нежели полагается носу классической формы.
He was a short, compact figure, and a little inclined to a localised _embonpoint_. His face was not unpleasing; the features fine, but a trifle too pointed about the nose to be classically perfect.
