Honestly, the thing is that humans are flawed but entitled to self-determination, as long as they aren't harming others. The vast majority of the population does not live their lives to maximize their health and well-being based on scientific evidence. And because fat is visible, and (at least here in the US) culturally "bad" -- this aspect of imperfection gets focused on, as opposed to countless other human flaws that don't. Like, idk, being able to do arithmetic in your head -- people that can easily do arithmetic in their heads are probably statistically more likely to live better lives -- but there isn't a culture of "You should consider working on being able to arithmetic in your head. You'll feel a lot better once you can do this."
In short ... fat-shaming, for me, is less about the flawed science and social construct, but mostly about, "I am not perfect, and I will never attain perfection, because I am human, and you know what, neither will you, so shut the fuck up!"

Right, and you can live the most textbookish "healthy" lifestyle possile, and still die stupidly because your house slides into the sea, or because Hope Hicks coughed on you, or because a rabid marmot bites your femoral artery.
