Years ago, my wife asked me if some outfit made her look fat. It did. I told her so. She did the usual, pre-programmed pout/anger women are taught to do by countless sitcoms. I told her only ask me if she wants an honest opinion, and that her friends would never tell her the truth. She realized the error of her ways and now she asks me because she wants to KNOW and knows she can trust me.
Penis size isn't' going to change without surgery, weight is a whole different matter. While some people have an easier time losing weight, its not as if other people defy the laws of nature. If you don't eat it, you won't gain from it, if you burn more than you eat, you will lose. So yes women are sensitive about their weight but so what. It doesn't make it 'off limits' and if you marry a girl who is 130 and she gains 70 lbs I see no problem in pointing it out to her in some fashion. It doesn't mean you need to belittle them, but there is nothing wrong with letting her know you don't like it.
