Do Elves ever get fat?

I'm going to have to take you up on that - who says warriors can't be fat? It might slow them down, but a lot of heavier people are quite strong and I am sure that not all of the best warriors were thin. However, I guess it also depends on what you call "fat". If we are talking extremely obese, then I concur with your statement. But if you mean some belly fat, I stand by my point.

After all, not that many Humans are described as fat either in Tolkien's works.

True, although I can think of one off the top of my head - Butterbur.
