Something somewhat esoteric here is that Quinton has always been in the heavy side but there was this window of time between early 2018 and mid 2019 when he was "skinny" (read, semi-ideal weight for someone his height and age) and he has never managed to get there again since.
The general theory is that when his channel became profitable for the first time, he invested in himself by going on a strict diet and exercising regularly at LA Fitness. We know he went to LA Fitness because he mentioned it back in the day. He said someone recognized him in the showers in late 2018 and it seems he just gave up. He also mentioned once he walked around the block but also quit when it 'stopped feeling safe', to this day no one has confirmed if there really was anyone in his zip code that really wanted to fuck with him. He has mentioned he does an even easier version of a Tik Tok workout and mainly uses the treadmill. If he hasn't been able to just get back to a healthy weight is because he rewards himself with food after doing something.
Shitty eating habits are his true cross. I want to give him credit for talking about having an eating disorder because its generally seen as a woman thing, but it does come off as a tad tone deaf to express relief about losing weight right after talking about anorexia and presumably having an audience of younglings that may starve themselves in order to look like those blocky, genderless models fashion brands push nowadays. Two hours before he said he didn't want to make shit about himself.
There's also something that bugged me after being reminded of Q's high school exploits as a media kid. There was a sketch series he did proving he couldn't do sports because apparently athletics staff wanted him to try. Q is 6'4 and in his adult life has rarely been south of 300 pounds, a bodyplan most NFL linemen work their asses to get to. He is a little over a foot shorter than Shaq and 25 pounds lighter. There's a fucking timeline all about Quinton, still not giving a fuck about sports, but pulling an Alan Page just so he can go to university. Yeah, probably his dream uni of SCAD doesn't care for athletics but the South has plenty of art schools and no one said that having an athlete body plan meant you had to be good.
