Upper arms and moobs, check. I think I'll keep the moobs though, 'cause I think they're cute and they go with the whole androgyny thing.
The rest--everything at where the body curves in to the hips and below is Maxis, and thus their fault. *g* Thing is, I'm trying to avoid changing that so that the Maxis bodyshape bottoms will work with this one a la the female shape, thus making for vastly less work for me.
If I change the legs--which I don't disagree with you on, the sudden lack of any muscle tone makes the sim look like they've gained weight due to being bedridden--I'm changing all of it to be in line with how I think this body's fat morph should be. Which is more mildly pudgy and not gut-tastic, as the Maxis shape can be the gut-bearer. Then I will wail because I have twice as much work as before. :)
Although, heh. I will note that in Finland, fat guys do often have the big gut, still-narrow hips, chicken legs thing going on. So Maxis wasn't totally out of line with reality... sheerly by accident, I'm sure. :D
