Default 'chubbiness'?

Hi guys,

this is about my beloved Syrian boy Billy. He's around 2 1/2 now and he's been gradually getting 'chubbier' around his sides and belly. He doesn't move as much anymore as he did when he was younger, so in the beginning i thought it was just that. But then the 'chubby' bits started to feel a bit hard, like, blown up, so i took him down to the vet (he had to go for a nail clip anyway so we did it all in one go.) The vet gave him a good feel through and said that he was fine, and in a good shape for his age. Which was reassuring, but i am still very concerned about this. His droppings and wee are normal, and he eats and drinks normally. His behaviour also seems quite normal for his age, he comes out for a little run around the room in the evening, a cuddle, etc., and goes in his wheel a bit. Has anyone got experience with something like this? I would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks,

and i hope you're all well.
