In Brazil and Portuguese-speaking countries, 'gordura' is the everyday term, while 'obesidade' is used in medical and formal contexts. The word fatness is less commonly used as a standalone noun in Portuguese compared to English; Portuguese speakers typically use 'estar gordo/a' (to be fat) or reference 'excesso de peso' (excess weight) more frequently in casual speech.
