He's not fat. He's put on muscule weight and has "filled out", so to speak. Remember, he was living on bugs while living with Timon and Pumbaa. Once he's back in the Pridelands, he had access to meat once again, which is, after all, proper food for a lion. He's also older in SP (his face has matured). So of course he wouldn't be the same size as in TLK.
"Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I." ~ Mufasa
