do muscular people always look so defined (even when just sitting around doing nothing) or are they just flexing for photos/videos?

They do not always look that way.
The photos, tv shows, and movies manipulate things. Sometimes they directly edit the images. Other times the look is achieved by dehydration. If you can see the muscle fibers the person is severely dehydrated. Its not unknown for body builders to pass out during competitions because of this. They severely dehydrate themselves to achieve the look.
If you want an idea of how a physically fit muscular person looks check out gymnasts and olympic lifters. They make sure they are properly hydrated so they perform well.

It’s a combo of body fat percentage, hydration levels, and post-workout pump.
The lower your body fat percentage the more toned you look regularly. Generally speaking the lower your bfp the better, up to a point. You can be dangerously low but it’s typically hard to do.
The less hydrated you are the more toned you will look. This is absolutely not a good idea long term. Hydration is super important for basically everything your body does.
After a workout you get what’s called a “pump” where all the blood rushes to whatever muscles you used. This makes them appear much bigger.
Actors, models, bodybuilders, use all 3 to look they way they do on screen and in pictures.
