Upper body strength doesn't really mean you're fat or not.
I know some long distance runners with barely any body fat that probably can't do that because they have barely any muscle up top either.
hence why i said weak as shite as an option. But again you are using long distance runners as the rule when they are very very much an outlier, an exception to the rule.

And I can do that fairly easily and I'm slightly over my doc's preferred BMI for a 40 year old (although not fat in appearance by any means besides a lil dad bod action where by 6 pack used to be )
you prolly are not that fat then or you lift. Most people do not lift, much less train to get stronger.

Yoga 2x a week and walk my dog every day.
All I do
But the core is stronger than ever and it helped my back pain go away. I work on our house and property a lot as well which keeps my muscles from full on atrophy
I just don't think getting stronger past a certain point is really necessary or beneficial - at least in my life. Staying limber, lean, and in decent cardiovascular condition are all much more important in my opinion than something like upper body strength.
I honestly don't don't where I'm going with this, had too much coffee and just talking to talk
