First of all, we should always practice life drawing! Your skill in drawing the figure will always be your basis to how you modify and stylize it. Creating this foundation of proportion and gesture will give you a better understanding of how to create figures of different proportions than the “average” figure.
Past this, we’re going to need to learn some anatomy. We need to know the basic, large muscle groups to create believable muscled characters. And, we need to know how fat is distributed (commonly) on the body to create believable fat characters. We need to know the skeletal structure to understand all of this, and particularly how some bones might show in super skinny people (like ribs and hip bones for example.)
I recommend checking out Sycra for anatomy tips.

Here’s some examples of common traits I’ve seen. By no means is this a comprehensive guide, but it’s a starting point. The best thing to do is to keep searching up guides and learning from real photos - as well as cross referencing!
