I mean realistically, a girl who's 5'3 @122lbs with what are clearly C-cups AND a who happens to have a huge pile of hair (which can potentially weigh up to 5 pounds on it's own). I don't even really think you could consider her pudgy in any way based on how her character model is drawn. Based on height and weight her BMI is right around 22, which is pretty much square on with "normal". A BMI over 30% is considered clinically obese, and for her to be at 35% she'd have to weigh 200 pounds....

Honestly the fact that this was supposed to be the "fat girl" for the show kind of irritated me at first, but somehow seeing Machio do his flex and then magically shrinking again when he puts on a new track suit made me realize this anime is really big on exaggerating....the only unfortunate part is that in the case of the females (specifically Hibiki) it's kind of pushing the unhealthy standard girls seem to strive for. Hibiki is 17, she's got a big appetite because she's still growing, but otherwise is pretty much perfectly healthy. Now, if she was in that same situation at 35 then things would be different. She'd need to tailor her diet and do some exercise at that point to maintain a similar figure to what she had at 17.
