1 fit: "Fit" is the right choice for this sentence. To be "fit" is to be "healthy" or "in good physical condition". Example: "I need to lose some weight and get fit before I visit the doctor next month". Note that there is also a verb "to fit", which has several meanings, including "to be the right size": "These shoes don't fit. They're too small".
1 fat: "Fat" is not the best term to use here. If someone is "fat", they are carrying too much weight on their body. One does not get "fat" by going to the gym. The opposite is true!
2 fat: "Fat" is the better answer here. If someone is "fat", they are bigger than they should be, usually because of too much food and/or too little exercise. "Fat" is quite an insulting word to use. It's nicer to say "overweight" or, in the US, "heavy". The related noun, "fat", refers to a greasy substance found on the body or used in cooking: "When the fat is hot, you're ready to fry your potatoes".
2 fit: This is not the right choice. If someone is "fit", they are "healthy" or "in good physical shape". I've you've eaten a lot of food at Christmas, you're probably feeling the opposite of "fit"!
3 overweight: "Overweight" is the term we were looking for here. We say that someone is "overweight" when they are "too heavy" or "fat". Example: "Overweight children are being sent to "fat camps" to lose weight and get fit".
4 underweight: "Underweight" is the right answer. If you are "underweight", you "do not weigh enough" or "are not as heavy as you should be". Premature babies can be described as "underweight", and so can people who do not eat enough food.
