I was skinny until puberty hit. Some people told me I look better than I did when I was skinny. So fat is better?

Believe it or not, I was a skinny, tall child! I started puberty when I was 10 and I got taller and gained weight and got fat. I lost weight before but I gained it back. One said, “Well you look better now because you have curves!”
A lot of people say people look better when they’re adults than when they were skinny kids/teenagers. I also got told, “Well you’re a young woman. You blossomed so of course you’re going to have more weight on you as an adult. You look good now than then. That was before I got to 251lbs. When I was 10 I was 5’6 and 120lbs. Yes I was 5’7 at age 10!
