So I think the word works here.

I’ve never seen it used figuratively, and all the examples in the dictionary are literal, but maybe it’ll catch on.

I’ve never seen it used literally. Ever. Only ever figuratively.

That’s strange to me. Only two examples come to my mind and they’re both literal. Whatever examples you’ve seen of it being used figuratively didn’t make it to the dictionary.

I have only seen it used figuratively, why are you like this?

I have never once read corpulent in my life describing the physical state of an individual, it has always been about over indulgence or bloated or overly baroque style. Not saying it has not been used in a way to describe a fat person but that I am not able to prove a negative.
