Corpulent means "fat". people usually use it to avoid the use of word "fat/obese". Other words mean/related to "thin/lean/skinny", So "obese" is correct.

CORPULENT means large of body. Obese means Obesity occurs over time when you eat more calories than you use. The balance between calories-in and calories-out differs for each person.

I guess obese is the right one because corpulent means a fleshy and plump body.
Eg: the man in the beside house is very corpulent and that is the reason he is not able to walk fast.
