Simulated journeys with 0008508 causing cave adaption may point towards the commmon cause this is not precisely a bug.

If the visitor travels regularly or from very far away, the exercise might wear down their fat and improve/weaken their physique (armok willing making mounts take the brunt of a fat lawgiver's weight on long travels may make for more obese visitors from laziness and haggard horses & mules)

Your fortress may just not be very far away from the nearest site they are visiting from.

I just checked the description of all visitors present in my current fort (version 44.12).

Of the 20 visitors (all humans), 14 did not mention a physique (so I assume they are "normal"), while 6 were "incredibly skinny", "incredibly skinny with a small build" or "short and incredibly skinny". This seems suspicious as there is nothing between "normal" and "incredibly skinny", also there were no overweight visitors.
