You can be Underweight, Perfect, or Overweight.
The lighter you are, the more Stamina and less Health you have. Max Stamina benefit for being Underweight is +7.5%, while your Health is altered by -7.5%.
Being Overweight has the inverse effect as above. Stamina is -7.5% and Health is +7.5%.
Overweight is preferred for gunfight reasons. You can absorb one extra bullet. This was tested with Lancaster Express with and without SAS + NWO active. Both tests took an extra bullet to kill the Overweight player.
Maintain your weight by eating cooked meat once a session. Switching sessions adds the weight.
Eating and entering your Moonshine Shack also adds weight.
Harriet sells Weight Gain and Loss Tonics for $75.00 each and Potent Weight Loss and Gain Tonics for $150.00 each. The normal ones slightly affect your weight. Potent Weight Loss makes you the most underweight you can get, and Potent Weight Gain makes you the most overweight.
Your Horse has a weight that could dictate its core drains. Pause Menu > Player > Horse > Physique and look under Weight. Malnourished is unhealthy, but if you have a good Saddle and Stirrup Combo then Horse weight doesn't matter.
