Genuinely why?!

There was a reaction against so called "shrink-wrapped" dinosaurs, which was a trend in the 90s- 2000s.
Greg Paul started it all, and probably took it too far. His book Predatory Dinosaurs of the World is the reason Jurassic Park called them Velociraptors instead if Deinonychus. Velociraptor is a Mongolian genus, but Paul lumped the larger American Deinonychus in with it as a species of Velociraptor. No one else ever recognised this categorisation, but his book sold a lot of copies.
If you look up his illustrations, you will see who everyone was copying for over 2 decades. He is quite a brilliant anatomist, but in addition to his anorexic reconstructions, he got dinosaur arms all wrong, and everyone just followed his lead, then the pendulum swung in the opposite direction.
In reality reptiles have very little subcutaneous body fat. That is primarily a mammalian trait.

Sure but modern reptiles are also all cold-blooded, and obviously most if not all dinosaurs were not.

They were cold blooded + you are gay.
Experts say you love shoving huge black dildos up your ass.

You're wrong and I'm not sure why you would want them to be cold-blooded in your fantasy version of them.

Not all dinosaurs would have been endothermic. Sauropods were most likely cold-blooded.

Peer reviewed studies show that you like being fucked by hung black men.
The trex had cold blood. Cope harder science tard.

Sauropods were very distinct since extremely large herbivores are not a lifestyle model that fits for every other dinosaur. Also dinosaur respiratory systems were like that of birds instead of other reptiles. (Or rather birds have the respiratory system of dinosaurs)
So with that in mind, dinosaurs had very active and huge lungs that would’ve been constantly taking in more fresh air than simple “tidal” breathing like a mammal. Which would make far more sense for an active animal that is endothermic, not exothermic like snakes or crocodiles.
Also animals at a certain point inevitably will always be “warm-blooded” as a consequence of their huge size. (Harder to shed heat with more mass).
Leatherback sea turtles are an example of this.

I also personally think that PhP’s rex isn’t necessarily fat, since high end musculature kind of just looks all lumpy. Hippos are an excellent example of this, sure they look ‘fat’ but in reality they’re pretty much all muscle.

Reptile bodies just store fat pretty differently than mammals do, IIRC dinosaurs would start to build it up at the base of the tail first.
