Pffft! Ya'll a buncha posing wannabe fatboys. Yeah ya heard me right! I'm calling all ya'll a buncha fakes n phonies!
You want fat? I'll see your fat and raise you two chubs!
5'5" 320 lbs. I am not round either. Its more like a rectangle. From the shoulders down to my thighs, about the same girth. My backfat has backfat. Its easy to be 275 lbs+ when you are 6 feet tall. Try doing that when you are less than 5 and a half feet tall!
A simple tuckable innerwaist band holster has been sufficient for me the past, 8 or 9 years. Since I was 250 lbs. I never tuck it though, never have to wear a tucked in shirt. I carry a full size 1911, the holster rides low enough that nothing noticable prints. Maybe one corner, the magwell. But I wear adequate shirts that hide it and never risk riding up over it to expose the gun.
The only thing I have a tough time keeping from printing is when I decide to carry my spare mags in a carrier on my belt.

6', 285lbs
LCR, PPK, PP, and P3AT in front right pocket.
XD-45, various 1911's, 3 1/4" 1917 S&W, 7 1/2" Ruger bisley IWB @ 4 o'clock.
Yeah I said 45LC 7 1/2" Ruger Bisley IWB. I don't like having something beat and bang my leg while goinig through the woods. I admit, while wearing denim shorts, flip flops, and a t-shirt the IWB Bisley, the wife, and I went to go see 3:10 to Yuma several years ago. I enjoyed carrying that more than I enjoyed the movie.
For me IWB works pretty well; It just kinda squishes into my love handle so most shirts conceal everything pretty well.

6'-265 lbs, I always carry my Rossi 462 snubbie in either a Don Hume belt slide or a N8-squared tatical IWB, but always crossdraw under a untucked shirt, unless I carry it in my Uncle Mikes ankle rig.

Cool. You win. Send your details and shirt size (if I feel generous enough to send you a shirt, maybe, maybe not) by PM

Making it sound like wanting free stuff is a bad thing?
Back on topic, I also have a nice sharkskin holster, not tuckable, but IWB, rides the gun a little higher, still concealable, but even better if i want to open carry. Matches the pistol (kimber tle, with carbon fiber grips) nicely.
When I was fresh to carrying, I had a 9mm and .40, Steyr M series, identical dimensions. Rafters gunleather iwb holsters were perfect.

I am a "bigger guy" not actually a fat guy. My roll doesn't touch other skin 
6' on the dot and 245 pounds. I carry IWB with either a Crossbreed or Kholster 95% of the time. I wear a white tee (commonly known as a wife beater) with a cover shirt. In the winter I may skip the tee and go with a mock neck.
With the good holsters and a Wilderness Tactical belt I am GTG. I wear my gun at least 12 hours a day, every day.

I get a floor jack and prop it up on cinder blocks just below my waist-line and then put a 4x4 on the jack. My wife works the jack while the 4x4 lifts my belly fat and I quickly stick my .44 mag w/ 8 inch barrel agaist my groin and quickly (as quick as I can) step back and the flab then hides the gun very well.
I tried a smaller gun, but found I spent too much time fishing around under my flab to find it. The big .44 works great and no one can ever tell I carry, especially when I go to Wal-Mart in my electric scooter.
Best,
Peachy.

I just thought of this story, I believe I read it on TFL. At any rate, below is the link.
HPD: Inmate Hides Gun In Fat Layers
HOUSTON -- A nearly 600-pound man was able to hide a weapon for more than a day while he was in custody, police told KPRC Local 2 Wednesday.
600! All you 300 pound posters are light weights.

I am happy to say that I had to worry about this for almost thirty years, but no more--I was 305 and I have now been @180 for 2.5 years. Man does that make a difference in so many ways including for sure CCW.
For those of you looking to lose weight, here's wishing you good luck in the New Year! For those not, have a cheeseburger for me!
