I never said anyone should be passive aggressive, or that they must make their interaction with an overweight person about themselves. I'm not sure how you made this interpretation based on what I said.

How do you hint to someone you think they're too overweight without it being passive-aggressive?

The point isn't to tell said person that they are overweight, but to push them to self-improvement. In some cases you don't have to mention that said person is being overweight at all. But if it benefits the person to be reminded, then it can be done in a good faith manner. It matters what your intention is.
