This is not the place to give any measurements, so I’ll just say I was fat 7 months ago and I’m not anymore.
I put on a lot of muscle mass while losing quite some fat, so I can lift rather heavy (on my own perspective), but when I mock my friends about lifting more than them even though they’ve been training for years they all go “well, you used to be fat” or “that’s easier for you because you were bigger” and I have come to understand that’s just how it works because of the Internet too, but I don’t really know why.
I don’t know if it’s the language causing a misunderstanding here, but when I say “mock” I mean we joke with each other playfully in a way that everyone’s comfortable with.

Body frame is also a factor. Some people are skinny and their frame can really hold a ton of weight. Think small joints, small bone structure. People who can carry more weight often have the frame to support it. Some people would have a hard time even packing on 250 lbs to their frame. Others, it’s just not difficult.
That larger frame means you can put on more muscle (the frame cna carry it more easily) and large joints/bone structure just means they’ll be naturally stronger. Smaller bones/joints of course not being able to support as much weight, either on the body or while being lifted.
