I think people were just fat which showed their wealth and prestige hence why they could afford to get painted.

Show me all the skinny starving portraits...

The aristocrats could afford to eat like pigs and tubby up for their portraits and who knows maybe even wanted to appear fatter. The paintings could add like 20 lbs.

Good point. Plus people who could barely afford to pay for food could not afford a painting most of the times.
