I can say, without a doubt, being fat definitely makes the air feel warmer. I don’t even think it makes sense, since your skin senses it. But hot damn if my house goes above 72F I have to keep towels around when I’m heavy
Could it just be a weight thing? So not necessarily fat, muscle could also help.
If you’re body is heating your whole body, the amount of heat added will increase linearly with volume. But your surface area, i.e. the skin, increases sublinearly with volume. So you get more heat per surface unit?
Funny story.
I lost 50lbs and gained 50 lbs within a year.

Nah, it’s fat. That’s why polar animals have blubber
Yep. I’ve lost 90 pounds. Finally not sweltering all the time
I don’t know… , I’ve never been fat and I completely disregard the cold like it’s not even there
