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.

A fat person has more muscle naturally as they are carrying the extra weight. It’s hidden underneath all the fat but it’s there. So a fat person needs to lose fat and they’re left with all that muscle underneath from carrying the extra weight.
A skinny person has minimal fat and muscle. Their body is not used to carrying extra weight nor is it trained up to build muscle so you’re starto from a lower point
