Although I am on the fat side, I still consider myself very fit. I want to know if it is possible for someone to be fat and yet very fit.

Yes, it’s possible to be fit and fat. Fitness is about strength, endurance, and cardiovascular health, not just weight.
People with higher body fat can still be healthy and active, as long as they maintain regular exercise and a balanced diet.
Health is not determined solely by appearance, though excess body fat can increase certain risks.
