If you have a DS in their early 20’s are they a bit overweight?

Mine is and I would love him to lose some weight but don’t know the best way to approach or whether to say anything at all.

How overweight are you talking?

if there is a genuine concern for his health then sit him down and say you are worried about his health.

if just a bit overweight, let them deal with it but maybe bring some healthier food in around house etc and make concerted effort as a family so not singling out (if they still live at home).

really depends on the relationship you have and how receptive they would be to your concern.

Errr No, you don't need to approach it. He's an adult and will loose weight if he wants to. Would you like to be approached by a family member and told you were too fat for their standards and they wanted you to loose weight?

He's 22 and very very not overweight.
He's very active, not sport so much but hobbies and a job on his feet.
I worry he doesn't eat enough but truthfully I think he's just built that way. His dad was, but at nearly 50 is quite overweifht now
